LASA Class

[Clutch]

Nov 7 will help also

I resigned this week. I left a empty and slightly used ballistic nylon flight case in the bag room. The code is still set to 00/00. If you can find it, tis yours. I thought I would have more to say. I don't. Adios and best of luck to most of you.

I disagree. I have 5 years seniority, not even halfway up the 200 list but hold a decent schedule and gross over 50k. Life does not suck hard, especially in this economy. Referring to this job as crappy and abusive is rediculous.

Lack of movement wasn't caused by ASA lifers, it was caused by Age 65 and a bad economy. December 17 all that all comes to an end. We have classes on the CRJ side throughout the remainder of the year and one of the wildest bids ever is about to happen. By this time next year people will have all the movement they want. It's about to get crazy

777 is right on! I've got a little over 11 years here and never thought I would be here this long. Thank you age 65 and recession. However, I feel very blessed to be where I am. ASA could have easily been in the position of Comair!

PapaSiera stated "Inc is either going to let us keep our "meager" industry leading contract or they can replace us". I would never consider an industry leading contract as meager. While the LASA contract is not the greatest, i feel that i have it purty good here. I'm gonna make just under $100,000 for flying a 50 seat jet. My health insurance is still about half of what most of my buddies outside of aviation pay. I have way more days off a month than my buddies outside of flying and my 3 weeks of vacation a year I can turn into 9 weeks. And perhaps most important, my paycheck arrives on time and has never bounced!

For those pushing for big raises and "industry leading" contract, take a good look at Comair, Pinnacle, ACA, Eagle, Mesa. This will be our fate if we do not get together and create a reasonable contract that the company and we can live with. Otherwise, everyone better update your resume and be ready start over somewhere else.

50k? You either work your ass off or you are figuring per-diem in that number.

Including per diem I'm just over 55k

I live in base and always credit over 100hrs. Gotta add as much to the 401k while I'm young and energetic

Glad to hear it. Where ya going?

Legacy ASA is a good outfit to work for. However, my HUGE beef is with scheduling and reserve. If we cleaned up the contract language, and instituted a better reserve section, I'd be happy T/A-ing what we have now. However, as long as scheduling continues to dump on me, I'm gonna remain pissed off, irrate, and disgruntled. I don't mind working, and working hard. However, I also demand a life outside of work, and reserve simply does not allow this. You even get bugged and F-ed with on days off.

Someone on the Crack Pipe said that Nov 15th will be a magic date.

What happens on Nov 15th.

Jump don't answer the ph on days off!

Nobody answers the phone on days off.

What he is referring to is taking considerable time bidding for your days off and having the company take them AT WILL. They will put days off wher THEY want them with no regard to your wishes. They will give you single days off with 6 days bookended on either side.

5 years on reserve is getting pretty old.

 

[Plainsman]

Tell them you will do the trip then go eat somewhere on virginia. It's in the contract we can go eat. Is there a time limit?

 

[surreal1221]

All I wanna know is did someone find the flight kit yet? lol

I never do. But is it really necessary to bug me 3 times with an automated text or phone call before they figure out I'm not going to auto notify? I get little time away from work, so what time I do get with my family is highly cherished. Why is it necessary for them to put work on the forfront of my mind when I should be able to recharge? Oh wait- it's because they can't staff the airline properly, and they try to get you to auto notify, hoping you won't realize, that they can keep you on call durring your call period, give you a later duty, and start your 16 hr. duty day at your duty in time, rather than the start of your call period............Just another way for them to squeez the turnip.

Set your preferences to auto-email you, and then give them an email address you don't use. (I gave them my wife's email that is set to exclusive--anybody not in her address book goes straight to junk). Those auto-notifications are for their convenience (hoping they won't have to use a real person to call you), but in the end they are required to use a real person to call you.
