First SLI thread of the day

[sinkrate]

His award has been "ready" for two weeks now. This is getting a little dumb.

Using a similar process the Arbitrator in the RAH SLI was four months late with his award. What makes you think Bloch will be any faster? Lawyers know no timetables. They generally do things when they are ready to. If there is a deadline imposed they rarely meet it - they use some process to delay it. I'm not saying Bloch won't deliver in a timely fashion, but I'm not going to hold my breath either.

WHat I am about to write is a joke...........The word is that he wants an updated seniority list from all three unions. He is also waiting on a Delta seniority list as there are some issues with the MEsaba flows. The word is that he is trumping the cancelled flow agreement and allowing only Colgan pilots to flow.........done joking

Isn't Corp buying another carrier July 1? I guess we will just wait until all the purchases are done and just do 1 list then. It's more "cost efficient".

*sarcasm*

yeah my theory it is not SWA buying Sun Country, but Pinnacle Corp is providing the financing for SUn Country to buy all the assets of Pinnacle Corp and then do a stock swap. By doing it this way, it is a staple for the pilots......I am just saying....its so crazy-its got to be true

I see Corp going after Horizon, then Comair after they shrink (can you imagine that MOU situation?!). OR corp going after air wisconsin with a new airways ASA. Followed by Delta and Alaska finally getting married. Then Southwest swallowing sun country.. and american doing something (maybe JB).

Miss Cleo got nothin on me!

No matter what we will have angry pilots! Pure WINNING!

 

[i fly boxes]

Angry pilots..... That could replace angry birds we could fling crjs at CEOs
I heard Bloch wanted a list of where we all went to school and who we dated while we are there

 

[xjhawk]

yeah the list was to include where you got your degree from. All the major flight school graduates will be a base, always on the bottom, even below future new hires (unless they are common grads of the major flight schools. Next comes the military pilots and then from there the rest of us randomly given a number.

 

[Smarta$$]

When you talk about these guys, are these the NMFC and their minions or just a base culture in general?

Honestly, my opinion is both, but there are exceptions of course.

At the end of all email's.​

ALPA is so fuc%d up!!!​

So what's mesaba disputing now? I hear that's the hold up.

DOH/Seniority Date.

 

[i fly boxes]

I give up. This was agreed upon so long ago, isn't negotiations the time to bring this up?

 

[bri5150]

The email from the Mesaba union says there were several "anomalies". You make it sound like they are disputing the fact you are using class date DOH vs. sim date. That is not an "anomaly". I don't know what the mistakes (what I hope they are) are, but they are not disputing the fact you are using class date. I guarantee it. Maybe they are intentionally delaying so they can reach the MOU end date...oh wait... :smash: By the way, the way I see it, any more delays are detrimental to the Mesaba pilot group. From what I hear there are vacancies being run on the Pinnacle side for captain positions. I am not saying we are entitled to them, but the more Pinnacle people that get into those position, the better it is for them, and not us.

p.s. I am not accusing 9E of doing this on purpose. Just stating that they would be the ones gaining with delays, not XJ.

I am quite sure Higney is in a better position to know this than you are. If he says that the dispute is over DOH vs. class date, I am confident that is the case. And a bunch of XJ clowns that read a union email will not convince me they know the truth more than he does. Keep reading your "emails" and think you know the whole truth.

 

[e=mc2]

Easy way to settle the whole Who, What, Where, is to have the New Colgan boys take that we are the best attitude to the Jet training department. From what I hear that will sort the CA/FO list in no time at all.

Come again.

 

[higney85]

If you want to consider those who have recently been reinstated due to a termination, that's in the list of "anomolies". As well as contesting XJ furloughs being on our active list when they are our active pilots.

The drama continues. I'm frankly sick of it- but that's politics.

The brunt of the issue remains class date/DOH.

Bloch still hasn't said anything.

 

[Carl_Spackler]

I'm starting to get the feeling that the XJ MEC and SLI members think this ISL will not turn out good for their group, hence the grasping at straws.

 

[DoinTime]

The worst part is that DOH probably has nothing to do with the sorting of the award so all this bickering is over an unused data point that resides next to a name. Would we be in this same situation if we had disagreement over various pilots' employee number or birth dates?

 

[suupah]

?

Come again.

Now if us Colgan Boys could complete a coherent thought this ISL would be done by now!
