More Hostages at AAI

[Lear70]

Pretty much the entire bottom 70% of the seniority list...

Which is why the T.A.'s failed. Every single one of those guys and gals understands what happens when you lose Scope, knows they're not going to upgrade for 7-10 years, and they want their money back from the pay cut they took to come to work here, along with reasonable retirement, insurance, and work rules.

P.I.S.S.

or

FUPM

All the picketing we did here at Midwest was in uniforms and brass, the only thing that we didn't have was the company ID, we picketed everywhere, HQ, MKE airport and even in front of Mr H own house, all with ALPA's blessings.

Sadly, Tim didn't care one bit since he knew he was going to replace every last one of you. He sold everyone out. I digress, back to the hostage taking in Atlanta.

Amen to that.

The uniform "brass" worn at the shareholder's meeting was generic. Why did they change the strategy?

Cuz that "strategy" was retarded.

It's official.

MEC was suspended today. Not that they were flying anyway, 2 of the three were on full-time buy for negotiations anyway, but it's an important line that's now been crossed by the company.

Patiently waiting for the nuclear offensive option to begin... ok, not so patiently. Why can't our management be more like JB's and just do the right thing to begin with when it becomes obvious that it's needed? eh... *sigh*

ALPA will take care of everything. Airtran has nothing to lose, because ALPA is here to save everyone. They have the resources and the backing of 1000's of other airline pilots that care about you and your job at Airtran. Just look at ALPA's track record and you will see that ALPA carriers fair better.

Good luck

It's because, no matter where they made their bones, AirTran management is steeped in Lorenzo-funk. They don't know any other way to deal with employees. Time for the nuclear option. Good luck to all my homies left at AirTran.

ALPO will be your demise.

You're spreading yourself too thin, fryer-boy. Your trolling is becoming increasingly lame and boring.

1 day unpaid time off is too much, how much time are they looking at?

14 day suspensions, but it's not unpaid yet, because the company held back the financial aspect until an arbitrator rules.

I wouldn't take that airplane, either, at least not without some pretty substantial information-gathering.

1) Are you legal to launch ETOPS with that bleed wired shut?

2) What if you lose your other bleed source? If you had to descend to 17,000 feet (APU limitation) would you still have safe/legal fuel reserves?

3) What was your alternate, and what is the MEA to get there? Will you have enough fuel to do it at 17,000 (or 16,000)? What if the APU isn't maintaining the cabin altitude, and you have to descend further? There are serious issues to consider, and it would probably be quicker to get me another aircraft than it would be to gather all of the information I would need to make an informed decision as PIC.

The problem, GT1900, is that you don't really know ALL of the circumstances of why another pilot who refused the equipment. You THINK you know, but all you REALLY know is Management's side of things.

Have you bothered to contact any of these pilots, and asked for their side of the story? Of course you haven't, or you wouldn't have come on here parroting management's positions on these matters.

Have a little respect for your fellow pilots, and if you can't be bothered to seek out both sides of what happened, then kindly refrain from posting misinformation and half-truths.

huh? Airtran doesn't have ETOPS.
