New Mailing from Leonidas,llc to USAIRWAYS East Pilots"

[xrated]

The West wants to come and occupy our land (clt and phl), our house (our cockpits) and take what they never had a claim to.

You better hope you don't get selected for a random drug test anytime soon, cause you're going to fail...BIG!!!

The east thinks that just because they've been humored so far, it will always be so.

Yeah, as humorous as LOA93 Shoved up their tailpipes in perpetuity can be.

No it's true; Metrojet is right. Leonidas got hold of a bunch of old C-47's and recruited some guys from the 101st. They're training all the west guys in night jumps. Handing out clickers. June 6 is the day. PA & NC.

Define "many widebody FO seats". Airways has the smallest widebody fleet of all the majors and it seems to give all the Easties a real H@rd on that conceivably, West pilots could move to 1/3 of those spots. I have yet to talk to any West pilots who give a Rat$ a$$ about commuting to PHL for that crap. Keep in mind the wide boddy fleet is so small, that most East pilots will never have the opportunity to fly them anyways.

While yes, under Nic, West may have a chance at 1/3 of the wide body seats, but the East will have a chance of 2/3's of the seats out West.

With DOH, and C&R's, the East wants it ALL!! That will NOT happen!!

We have almost 500 widebody FO's.

The majority of the airline pilots that I know would commute to a higher paying position...they owe it to their family to make more money. I have in the past and would in the future. I would even commute to ANC to be a wide body captain so my kid could go to a good college...wouldn't you? The higher paying jobs are in PHL and CLT and the nic award puts many PHX based pilots on those higher paying jobs.

Are you contradicting yourself? If you signed up for the Kirby Proposal + 8 to 10%, you would get a handsome raise and you wouldn't need to commute to get the bigger paycheck.

Don't you owe it to your family to get an easy raise?

There's way more to a contract than pay rates and the Kirby thing is really bad.

For those who are curious the brochure will soon be available on www.cactuspilot.com
The previous ones are there now.

Obviously not many Easties will read and comprehend the material yet the mailings serve another important purpose: they are a visual display of resolve (VDR). Rumors are constantly started on the East that the West is losing resolve or Leonidas is underfunded. These glossy, factual pamphlets mailed to their homes are a kick-in-the-face reminder to the East that the West will not lie down and allow the tyranny of the majority to steal what we're entitled to.

I'll definitely read it like I did the last one.

It's a startin to look like them lenoarditis dudes has stepped in it.

There is a letter goin out that sez that a West pilot dune gave Leonarditis a spread sheet with Social Security numbers on it.

The company sez the is goin to buy lifelock security for all East piluts who is worried that they may have idenity iformation leaked.


The compeny has tole Lenoarditis that they kaint;

• use that information
• they has to destroy what they arleady has

The company has also:

• Apprpriate government agencies has been notificated
• Hired outside lawyers
• Put three US Airways pilots, one managment pilot and two others on administrative leave pending investigation.

Get yer hi-top boots on boys, its a gettin deep.
