how understaffed is your airline

What leads you to believe that this "company laundry" is appropriate for a public forum?? Just curious...

hello all i would like some serious replies. for those of us at RAH. we are going to get screwed with seniorty bypassing upgrades and a strong rumor of street capatains. for now only 145fo's are allowed to upgrade. this memo only came out on friday so who knows what will happen next week but according to the company we are short at least 150 emb-170 captains. oh and they may take vacation awards away as well.

NICE AVATAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you trying to hide?

It could be he is hiding the fact he is employed by a bottom of the barrel company.

Is that your girlfriend? Either way it comes across as a tad on the stalkerish side.

PS= Mesa is giving newhires "up to" $5k in signing bonuses of course I'm sure that they're going to want you to sign on for the better part of a decade. What a f'ing joke.

good one, i'm not hiding anything. we were asked by our union representation to keep our cards close and to keep loose lips from flapping. we have more to lose than EVER before. by keeping quiet we are fighting the good fight. but you really don't want us to do that, you'd rather us fulfill our destiny as "bottom feeders"

Only for those with "UA Express" experience.

I honestly believe this idea was cooked up to entice pilots from Skywest to jump ship and come to Mesa.

I also think the devil is in the details . . . you'll note it's "UP TO", which means it's probably paid out over installments as you stay here longer and longer. I.E., not a flat bonus.

If this is all true, it's about the dumbest idea to come out of the Crystal Palace in the last 10 minutes.

Don't street captains at RAH make the same hourly rate as someone who upgraded after being there for 3,4,5...years? That would piss me off more.

Last time I checked, they didn't have "street captains." They have J4J people though.

what is J4J?

 

[Edge540]

what is J4J?

Jets for Jobs.....

The Jets for Jobs, or "J4J", program was created at USAirways to come to a resolution between the ALPA pilots who had lost their jobs after massive furloughs after 9/11/2001 and the need for growth aircraft at regional wholly-owned and affiliate companies who had the capital to invest in additional aircraft while USAirways was restructuring under bankruptcy law. The idea was meant to be a compromise between giving these pilots a position at a regional carrier which carried certain benefits (such as furlough protections and higher rates of pay) and allowed the regional carriers to enjoy the benefits of additional growth aircraft.

Does .25 of a CA make less than a whole CA?
