Ok, if you have the experience you should pm swordfish to see if he will help you get an interview with Continental since his dad the chief pilot there. He has helped a lot of guys get interview just a thought.

If you are on probation don't expect to get an official notice and be prepared for the option of a voluntary furlough or termination.

The union MEC is ineffective at Trans States. Unfortunately, there is a lot of dissatisfaction on-line which I am sure is making its way back to management. This is not a good negotiating position. For the good of the pilot group, change is needed at the top levels. There are pilots willing to step up to the plate.

I'm sure the vocal few will rant and rave over this post. I ask you to question pilots on-line about their opinions before you voice yours and see what the majority feel.

Wow I feel that knife in my back again. A few days ago I heard that GJ was starting the process to put 50 seat A/C on thier certificate, then the next day we get 28 more furloughs, 14 more downgrades, and 2 parked EMB 145s...hmmm. Anyways with TSA having 48 pilots on the street and 28 Captains downgraded to FOs I dont see how anyone can say that GJs isnt hurting us.

 

[swordfish]

should have voted yes

I'll see you on the couch!uke:

save me a seat man! or better yet, ill get there before you and just lay on the couch, oh wait, we cant do that anymore!

Having intercourse with a bucket of nails is more fun than working at trans states

Why does everyone assume that an attempted recall has to do with a certain 70 seat flying? I don't think that it does. That sounds like trumped up propoganda from the union. Ask around and you...

I thought the MECs staunchest support was always out on the east coast? Who is this "Boys Club"? Did they give themselves the name or did someone else? A 50/50 split on a recall vote makes me...

Red,

I wasn't implying that the company would spin it in any way. As you said, "they are ruthless" and they don't care about what anyone thinks. The MEC, on the otherhand, has to answer to the...

You misunderstood me. My point is, the company would not and will not deal with our current MEC. Therefore any communication or deal had to be offered through a mediator. Rumor has it...
