Yea, Skyway is giving up their EAS routes, and the 1900s will be phased out later this year.

Yes, there are two near MKE: Lake Michigan and Lake Superior! :smash:

JO's clown paint really sets that one off! Your play on words has got me rolling to SEGWAY (get it?) into explaining for all pimply FI punks that . . .

Great Lakes Airlines actually refers to the Iowa Great Lakes of renowned Spirit Lake and Lake Okoboji, natural resort lakes from way back in the day. (19th century day) If GLA gets MKE flying though I nominate a name designation change for them gluttons for punishment that they are. Dudes, get a new contract already!

We finally got our new contract about 4 months ago. It was only 6 years coming, I guess. Believe it or not, pay got only slightly better, and work rules got worse!

Congrats on your parole...I'm trying to enjoy my sentence...

We got absolutely screwed. We were awarded through arbitration the exact TA that was voted down 100% in 2004. The Teamsters suck.

Bummer. Do y'all get Cost of living and longevity raises though, and if so for how long?

Lakes paid me for holidays whether worked or not. And had a 401K match. GLA still do those things?

 

[Trogdor]

Yes, that is still around. Small condolence though.

Anyone know when the start date is? Hopefully soon because I'm getting tired of hearing people complain in Rhinelander about not having service to Milwaukee anymore.
