I know you like to keep emphasizing that you're doing the buying. That's fine, but has no bearing on SLI.

Agreed. Most XJT pilots are glad this thing is going through. This place isn't half of what it used to be. There's no reason this has to turn into a pis$ing match.

Personally I do think its time that XJT goes through a change the current managment team has proven they can not make a profit and I dont trust their plan of, "maybe if we just wait around and do nothing but punish the labor we will make money again.

I guess where I and a few XJT guys have a problem with you is that you are so willing to cave and not fight for a fair wage or QOL. The way you guys talk about "Jerry" is as if you are giddy that he seeks concessions. You make yourselves sound like battered woman when you say "you better watch out, Jerry won't like that." Jesus, you play right into his hands. Then you say that we have to be competitive. Well who decides what is competitive? Why is it that you have to fly a Boeing or an Airbus to have descent pay and QOL. SKW makes a ton of money. It's time that they share it with there pilots.

1. I believe I make a "fair wage" and I have a great QOL.

2. ASA's pay and QOL is far above most regionals.

3. Skywest's pay and QOL is far above most regionals.

4. You took concessions without Jerry owning you...You are subject to the whipsaw with or without Jerry...Thank ALPA and the mainline pilots inability to deal with scope for that.

5. The market decides...If you don't like the market, then you need to work towards reform within your union....Your union has signed many agreements way below what ASA and Skywest make...Just look at Mesa and TSA.

6. I make more and have a better QOL than many flying Boeings and Airbuses.

That's great for you, but 90% of us don't. Don't forget that people without your seniority have a much tougher life, and would be better off at a major.

2 and 3, no you don't. You just think you do because you make almost 100K a year and have 15 days off a month. Air Wiskey, XJT and Comair all have it better than you. Skywest only has ANYTHING because it was given to them because of the work Comair, Wiskey and XJT have done.

Face it John, you've been at ASA since 1994. You didnt move on, and thats fine. You're almost in the top 10%....yippy. You have no idea what it's like at the other regionals because you don't work there. I bet my left nut if you worked at XJT for 6 months you'd never go back.

Just ignore Joe. He is a real toolbag. Those who have been around here long enough to see what he has been involved with over the years know what a piece of work he is. It isn't about seniority with this guy, it is all about tooting his own horn.

-Every company has its own version of Gen Lee. The guy is just like the original Genital we all know and love.

Yes please put Joe on your ignore list, he is not Representative of ASA.

Yes please put Joe on your ignore list, he is not Representative of ASA.

Throwing up a little bit in my mouth is becoming habit on these threads.

I certainly hope our respective MECs are not spouting the ridiculous poop which has recently defiled the hallowed FI wall of wisdom.

If so, we are all doomed doomed doomed.

Doomed, I tell you!!

Doomed!!

Who took concessions?

Who has a better contract?

Who wears panties?

Who is buying who?

Who loves Jerry the least?

M gosh!! The answers to these questions will surely save us all!!
