more like uneducated

Nope...I don't recall blaming you clowns in the union for being anything but greedy, self righteous blow hards. The company and management were the ones who did the wrong doings, as I believe I stated previously. However, taking a grievance to a union comprised of the likes of those in 1224 absolutely would be a huge waste of time. I had a minor issue 2 years ago and emailed someone who claimed to be a union leader and couldn't even get a response. I told him in person about it months later and he cared even less about it then. Sorry, after being screwed by one union and seeing yours in action it makes me glad to be gone. Enjoy!

Greed and self righteous, really come on. Just because the Union could not get done what YOU want that makes us greedy and self righteous? You are self centered and full of yourself. I have a grievance that has been on the table since before your hire date and still is unresolved, why? Deadlock at SBA that is why. The RLA has much to blame in this process, but be uneducated I would only be guessing don't you think? Sorry rhetorical question, you don't! I am glad you are glad to move on and polish your chrome, well polish what ever it is you are polishing, because you spit is caustic and not worth any glandular action your body might produce. Since you have moved on from the career field why don't you just shut down your account and your mouth then move along to the next trolling field, say trucking.

Nerve hit firmly, wow.

Yep, I have too much time and effort invested in this project to have some quitter undermine what we are trying to here at Kalitta. This place isn't perfect, but when this is airline number three in six years and no one else is hiring yet I have a vested interest in making it work. There are a lot of deadenders here that will undermine you at every turn, but to have person who has moved on to something he perceives as "better" then bitch about what he left is more than I can stomach.
Either you are part of the solution or part of the problem.

 

[Capt. Over]

so long...

I believe these other gentlemen have summed it up well. I don't even have to dignify your ramblings with a response. You have proven my point for me... which is what I had hoped would happen. Good luck and as I said...enjoy!

Get over yourself, your not that bright.

Get over yourself, your not that bright.

This is fantastic!

I think you are a little right and wrong......

......... I have a grievance that has been on the table since before your hire date and still is unresolved, why? Deadlock at SBA that is why. The RLA has much to blame in this process, .......................

Put the blame where it really lies, with the IBT! They are too cheap to process grievances through arbitration.

........... There are a lot of deadenders here that will undermine you at every turn, but to have person who has moved on to something he perceives as "better" then bitch about what he left is more than I can stomach.

We have our share at Atlas as well. I could not agree with you more here.

We also have the first problem. The IBT has NO balls.

ain't speeled wright...

Really? Bright enough to spell it you're instead of your...just sayin. You guys ARE good for comic relief on a Sunday afternoon I must say.

 

[Capt. Over]

ain't speeled wright...

I know...I know, a simple mistake. But damn, you threw that one right down the middle for me. I'm still laughing!

And once some has made a post after yours the edit function

...and this sort of sophomoric nonsense is why fewer and fewer pilots bother to visit Flightinfo.com. Come on, guys. I'd expect this level of discourse in a junior high classroom but not from professional aviators.

come on this all part of the the union activist manifesto. some one says something about a union you don't like. You put nasty notes on their lockers, and post on blog pages.

This thread is awesome. Good to see some things never change. If you're wondering how you end up living with mom at 37 with a college degree, and zero turbine PIC from the almost dozen places you worked at, ask the Capt. He'll even tell you how to blame everybody else but yourself for the absolute worst decisions one could make. Kind of like a choose your own adventure book where you die after the first turn of the page. Multiply that by 15 years.

 

[Nate2046]

I have no idea what this thread is even about anymore. Typical flightinfo BS, always degrades into bickering over unrelated ish. Nice work

 

[CaptSeth]

Mesa sucks.

 

[BentOver]

This is fantastic!

What's the word....."ironic" .... Or how did that saying go? "like the pot calling the kettle black"

Unwashed,

A brief history that can make a group of pilots seriously jaded:

The pilots from YX got butt raped mostly by MEH management. MEH was financially in trouble. But NWA mgnt (ALPA Pilot Carrier) came in and rescued us from the evil forces of Air Tran's takeover bid, and then DAL (ALPA pilot carrier) came in and married NWA.

Well, eventually, folks, good ole Republic came in and bought us from Texas Pacific Group for nickels on the dollar.

OK, tough break, guys..right? Move on, right?

Well, why is it that almost all ALPA pilot groups that get shoved out on the street, get SOME kind of preferential interview treatment at a reasonable carrier? Probably because ALPA thinks it is OK for all of us MEH peeps to get offered jobs at RAH. Maybe OK for the top 5% of MEH guys that can be CAs at RAH, but for the rest of us, it is a virtual CAREER RESET button.

Why, oh why, could our Alpa boys not get us some preferential interviews somewhere besides RAH.

Many of us could only walk away from this experience thinking the High up ALPAs just didn't give a ******************** about us. And that is truth.
