Got the Rejection Letter from Usairways

[Turtle21]

So you wont tell me thanks.

He has a fast keyboard. If he had any more control of the outcome than we do he would be in Dallas. He's a good pilot, he has whining down pat.

 

[gearjockey]

You guys are making $62/hr less than every other A330 current contract, and $40/hr less than our 3 year old contract.... I'd hardly call that a few bucks..

Nevermind the work rules..

Didn't you just get hired by HA? I'm sure they'll be working on it.

 

[Scoot 11]

DUI wants to furlough me and outsource more shiny jets. How will these pay rates help me on furlough? Exactly and no I wont go on furlough to help you.

Yawn!
That vitriol you have for Parker is what you've done to the west pilots. Show it to Parker. I mean, you've only had what, 7 years?

 

[Scoot 11]

So what. By year three he's already making more on the 717 or 767/330 than the average 25 year east f/o!

Come on Mam I'm a line pilot with virtually no influence in the union. If you think I do then you must think you have a lot of powere so why don't you just change everything right now and make it all OK or are you just a big talker?

Spoken like a true usapa tag along. Brainwashed and apathetic to the core.

Go on change it all or are you a line pilot like me? I have only one ...ONE vote how many do you have? This airline being run by an ex-con has a few hundred pilots...actually I think it's more than that so my one vote doesn't change things that much. I don't owe you anything so don't think I'll vote for a contract that has a slightly higher rate but worse work rules. Contracts have a little more in them then pay rates youmust be new.

usapa is afraid to let you vote, so you'll never get a chance to prove you steadfast convictions.

I guess the original paradigm was that if you are flying a bigger airplane and you are making more money for the company and have a bigger responsibilty then you should be compensated more. So a 330 pilot who flys 285 pax to Germany and then 30 hours later flys another 285 pax back is worth more then I am? In that same three day period I flew 1200 pax. I made more revenue for the company...Thanks ALPA.

How much do your captains make on the "big plane"? A330 $159.

Parker should be banned from the Industry for saving those thankless pos. talk about career parasites..

 

[VA AV8R]

rejection email. 8000+TT, 2500+ turbine PIC, sim instructor time. ???

No rhyme or reason to any of it, really. I just got my second rejection email this year. Multiple LOR's, résumé walked in, the works.

Wow, charlie2 has some hate for old Duggie Boy, the guy that got him off the street after all those years....Thanks for your bio also, you forgot your GPA and scouting ranks...you think you deserve something in life, entitlement..the East pilots downfall...

Actually, if you factor in retirement and hourly pay, an FO at HA fairly quickly makes more than a USAir Capt. Thank you ALPA.
I'm blown away that Charlie2 doesn't realize the reason USAir pays so low is because of the divisiveness that forming a union meant to pit one pilot against another is the reason they are not making higher wages. It's not Doug Parker's doing, it's USAPA they can thank.
Make no mistake about it, what the USAir east pilots have been through since the 1990's has been exceedingly frustrating. It was a great job that took one blow after another from various managements that shamed the memory of Ed Colodney. But if anyone thought forming a union that was simply a reaction to years of frustration and refusal to accept the arbitrators award after promising to do so was going to be effective in any way, than they were fooling themselves.
