More Hostages at AAI

At least the AirTran pilots are trying to do something to improve the profession. What have you ever done , little man, to improve anything?

Ol' 400A-hole made his contribution to the profession by getting a vasectomy.

The funniest part is that he thinks he has 699 friends that will come scab with him when we go on strike.

Let me guess, you are close to the bottom of the seniority list. Best of luck, hopefully the 73 type is paid off.

answer my question & I'll consider answering yours.

Sorry, I'm not going to bet or take pleasure from your eventual furloughs.

How noble of you....when just a few hours ago your "bet" was 700 furloughs.

Good luck to you in your career.

Best of luck when you get stapled.

Thanks to the law, that's not going to happen.

Probably around 5%, so I guess around 250. So, did Higher Power want the money up front, or did they offer any kind of amnesty deal like Hyundai if you can't pay the balance because of a furlough?

Thanks to age 65, it's pretty slow. Walkers just don't go very fast.

First off, what happened was B.S. But guys have to remember not to "ask" for it. Turning down airplanes for "safety" reasons when the airplane is perfectly "safe" to fly is putting a bullet on your back. Writing up things that can only be found under panels that aren't checked after the first flight of the day is also asking for it. There is a way to do it, and a way not to do it. If you push the company expect to get pushed back, and thats exactly what happened. Don't get me wrong, I don't think these guys should have been fired. But trust me, the company most likely has enough evidence to make these firings stick. The only way these guys are gonna get there jobs back is from an agreement on a TA that says the company will bring the fired pilots backonline, and the company knows that. My point is to be smart about right ups and taxi speed. There is a way to do it, and a way not to! You can taxi at 15 knots all you want, just make sure you wait 5 minutes after pushback to call for taxi. Don't taxi slow and back ATL up. Write up stuff when it happens, don't wait until you get to a non MX station (remember, the AC could very well already know whats wrong with it, and its logging it, so the company knows if you waited until a non MX station). This is called doing your job! They can't fire you for that!

Last I checked, you weren't an MEC officer, nor have you ever fought a termination case at arbitration, nor do you have all the information behind each case.

So even though you slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night, why don't you give these guys the benefit of the doubt (and us a rest from your armchair lawyering), and put a sock in it. Pretty please?

Thanks.

Well actually they can... at any time, for any reason.

Then someone can come a on this board and say how YOU were stupid for not waiting for a mx station to write that up, or for refusing a plane someone else would have taken.

Support Your fellow pilots.
