My thoughts

I heard he was still a target. Looks like the campaign of intimidation has been renewed.

On non FJ asking a question about a rumor being answered by another non FJ guy and drawing a conclusion. At least wait until someone answers the first dumb question before making up more stupid sh!it!

FI is a great place to get the up-to-minute facts.

... and that uniforms deserves all the trash talk it gets.

How can he be a "target" if he has the almighty protection of the IBT?

Is this the type of protection you are attempting to offer the FJ pilots?

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

Everyone knows when you are a "target" at flex, it's the training dept. that weeds them out. "Almighty protection of the IBT?" Can't answer to that either. Another straw man argument from Confessions of a Unionbuster.

So, explain to me how these targeted individuals are allowed to continue pass checkrides time after time when they were at best "questionable?" You have to routinely screw up and once you finally put it in the dirt is your job in jeopardy.

And exactly who is this "everyone" you speak of?

Are these the same people that told you my job is now to come on here and fight the union?

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

I'm not giving up those FJ pilots' names even if you ask nicely. It must really be eating away at you to see your comfortable little fiefdom slipping away,

Nope, not worried one bit actually, thanks for your concern.

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

No problem, just trying to give you guys a heads up. The FO training department claims you have a bloated program. That's what they are telling us. I don't know what they are telling you but good luck all the same.

I have seen many many people that cause problems go in and out of the training center without problems. I think they have a bunch of good guys in the department and don't know of anyone with the reputation that you speak of. Once again you have been mislead...

I understand you are trying to get under my skin, but when you talk about something you are not familiar with it just makes you appear ignorant.

Our training department is not overstaffed or bloated, in fact we will probably be hiring new instructors next year based on new fleet types and fleet growth.

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

Thanks for the clarification TWA. When we are told something, we ask questions. Its that simple. Either it's true or you can correct the "misstatements". Now go have a nice day and don't worry about it.

 

[jetwash]

The G positions are interview for your job (again), dedicated crew positions. They pay a basic salary, which you can increase through an undefined bonus system. Be advised, you will lose vacation and days off. Vacation is two (2) weeks and your days off depend on utilization. There will be five pilots per airplane. One "manager", one "assistant manager", and three "captains". If you believe the "manager" is going to fly more than just to stay current, I would like to sell you some land at 60N30W...the three "captains" will be flying 20+ days a month and the bonus they earn will be split by the two "managers". No Thanks.

We are hearing that they are also going to dedicated crews on the CL350.
Is that true? And will you be required to interview for those positions as well?

 

[DirtyBeech]

It's been talked about. No pen has been put to paper.

Don't pout because you were once again spreading bad information from a bad source and were corrected.

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

Sorry, the source is one of our instructors. That means our instructors are giving us bad information? The next question is" is the instructor making these things up or is he repeating what he was told?"

A little while ago, I asked a question about someone getting disciplined for questioning the new uniforms. We've all seen pictures of these uniforms, which are hideous and demeaning. As usual TWA jumped in and changed the subject to divert attention away from my question. You guys still falling for his lies?

So, here is the story I heard and I hope someone who doesn't work in the training department will answer.

I heard one of the FJ female pilots sent uncle an email which criticized the new uniforms. Uncle subsequently ordered her to be fired, but was persuaded by his middle managers not to do this, because it would anger the pilots and possibly fan the union flames. Flames I've heard are rising at FX.

So uncle - in his benevolence:erm:agreed to reinstate her if she apologized in writing, which she did.

Is this true?

 

[doh]

I haven't heard that rumor. And I've been in Long all week. I did talk to one of the guys coming over from FO. I got the impression from him that while he didn't like the union, he thinks management is just as toxic as the union over at FO.

 

[SDCFI]

If they wanted to fire people who criticized the new uniform almost half of us would be gone simply from that mega thread on the yam!

 

[warlord19]

I heard about that rumor and got quite alarmed. I asked someone who I trust and was told that 2 folks had directly e-mailed KR with their concerns about the uniform. They were thanked for their message and that was as far as it went. I believe that is probably what really happened.
