Mesa 767 Captain pay?

[Cosmo1999]

So stuart does your job involve having to play the part of crew tracking at all? I mean you have to have a backup in case your check bounces at whatever airlines seat you pay to occupy that should be a paid position id assume. So tell me exactly how does it work, like if your check bounces does crew tracking call you and say you have to either find a replacement or come up with an extra $5000 within one week and they will find one for you? Maybe you just have to make the PA announcement ladies and gentlemen we are terribly sorry but we have to return to the gate. Ops just called us and informed us that our FOs check bounced and therefore we have called out a reserve that paid us an extra $500 to fly on his day off, we are terribly sorry for any trouble this caused but our first officers must pay us to fly with us. Perhaps you just spare the embarassment of having to make the PA by calling someone in to cover for you in advance. Im really curious how does it work if your check bounces? Enquiring minds want to know.

LOL, Nothing like a PFT Puke (Ben Franklin) who tries to justify to the world why it was such a good move for him/her. I guess there is more in common between a PFTer and a Scab than meets the eye.

Yes, lejerk...

Scabs crossed a picket line and accepted lower wages for the same work that was performed for a higer wage just the day before when they should have fought for what was right based on all available information.

Guess that puts your Jet Blue WHORE a$$ closer to being a scab than any PFTer that I've ever met.

WHORE.

Do you like it when Neeleman gives you the pink sock or do you like the icy pirate better?

WHORE.



Sincerely,

B. Franklin

well cosmo im pretty sure i dont have to have a backup plan because i am making it as a pilot. i got my job at a different airline because i interviewed. im sure you can figure out what that is without making a pa to the passengers asking for help. the company i work for may not be the best company but i am still proud of the fact that i have a job as a pilot. i have no shame in the fact i went to gulfstream and i never will. i did my time there and got multi time and had a hell of a good time doing it. i didnt take anyones job away because they dont hire off the streets. yes i paid for it and by the way i didnt get my initial ratings because i looked good i paid for those too.

At least we're holding up the industry??

Thats sick, giving managers cash UP FRONT instead of at contract time? Gives a whole new meaning to "bargaining table"! Anyone who PFT'd is not qualified to pass judgement on ANYONE in this business.It seems that the loudest "you are a 'ho" whiners were the ones who ponied up some SERIOUS money for a cool uniform and a job. Scum....BTW At least a scab waited until a strike to screw people over instead of handing over a boatload of "Ben Franklins" up front, but hey, It was probably Mommy and Daddy's cash to begin with, Ornstein LOVES you guys.......

I have a degree in finance, Mr. Franklin. I guess that doesn't mean that I know anything about economics, though.

I'm sure the ones that bought their jobs are the ones screaming "cheaters cheaters" the loudest when United and US Air were hiring females with 1/3 the requirements than those white males they were turning away.

And yes, J.O. loves the ones who pay upfront. All the management pukes do. More money for them.

Re: Go Ben

So what if I purchased my job. At least we are holding up the industry, CMR +10%. You guys wished you were flying an ERJ. Also, we are not a regional airline and our next contract will reflect it.

Ahh...we do fly ERJ's.

I like who wrote the article....UsAir's former CEO must be really hurting for a job since he left Airways three weeks ago. No wonder the article makes MESA look like heros.

Did I miss something? Have you already signed a deal?

Based on your above post, you must have failed some of your core classes.

You're probably one of those guys who would take the 20 annual payouts in the California lottery instead of the lump sum because it's "more" money.

Sincerely,


B. Franklin

 

[sf3boy]

As a matter of fact I would. I would not, however, pay any hopeful employer a "lump sum" for the opprotunity to be employed. How about the whole United thing, Franklin? You think that it is good practice to put less qualified pilots in seats?

 

[Ben Franklin]

you're a finance major and you would take the annual payments over the lump sum??????


wow.. you DID say finance, right?


about the UAL thing... there is something called the EEOC and there is also something called an FAA checkride. If you can get past those hurdles, then you could have had a job at UAL back then.

Maybe you should have been a history major...





Sincerely,


B. Franklin

 

[sf3boy]

Well, Franklin, I will just say that we will shall just agree to disagree. I'll take the payments and you can pay for jobs. We will just be stupid in our own little ways.

And anyone can pass a FAA ride. We have had plenty at Mesaba who passed, but could not pass OE. I know this is true at every airline.

Where is his other half mcpickle? What a pair. They rank on Mesa when they had to whore themselves out... Atleast most on this board can see the big picture.


X amount of hours (6000TT) and "still" where?


too funny

And you're working for an airline who's sole existance is currently due entirley to a federal loan.
According to your logic all of us with 6000+ should have been hired by another airline or we are losers, am I right?

 

[350DRIVER]

Britpilot,

Incorrect my friend. Where did I lump you into the same class as the other two? I thought so, I did not. I just find it somewhat amusing that these two clowns will continuously bash Mesa and the pilot group there. It is getting old and quite frankly it is nothing more than garbage that they bring onto these Mesa threads and most can care less. Did you want to "attempt" to knock JB, SWA, ATA, and AT as well? As I previously stated Mesa guys have been successful at obtaining jobs at these places also.


It surely has to strike a nerve that people with a lot less time than these two have been able to move on, but he!! with the attitude that they have I guess it does not overly surprise me.
