PDT/PSA Pilots about to be hosed

[loser]

If what people are posting on the major forum regarding AWA poolies being called by US Airways human resources..... then we are about to be hosed. It is likely that they are being called to fill 190 vacancies, rather then refering to the CEL and our flow through.

So they're hiring off the street for the 190's???...does anyone know if that's really true?

There is no flow through! Piedmont will never have a flow through. If anyone from Piedmont or PSA wants to work at US Airways they will have have to aply off the street.

If PDT will never have a flow through, then how did you get your job at MDA?

Buuuuurrrrrnnnn!

Supposedly only 36 poolies who knows how many would even be interested still. After them I've read that the 190 would be offered to the CEL list. PSA might hold you for 9mo though.

if they hire off the streets we need to come together and do what ever it takes to make them realize we can not be pushed around. but this time we need to work together and not sell the other one out (PSA!!).

The MEC that did that is long gone.

That's what they* want you to believe, but that is not what happened. The jets were always going to PSA; PDT and ALG were always going to remain turboprop operators, and the lie that we were "in a race" to get them via concessions came from collusion between ALPA and USAirways.

* Management, AAA ALPA. Same desk, different seat assignments.

This is a good time to stick together. We were given flow rights as part of the restructuring agreement, and we WO folks need to do everything in our power to remind mainline ALPA and management of thier responsibilities under this agreement. It is time to pull out all the stops... Maybe retian outside legal council as well?

Don't have a lot to lose at this point. The fact is, both companies will die without some kind of established career track or big growth.

Unless you are PJ's man the Geiger! Nuh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree......mainline is going to be looking for 190 fo's soon and I pray that our Reps dont screw this up and not get us in possition to take those seats. I can see it now, all of those seats are going to be fill from the streets and we are going to be left in the dust again.....what can we do to get this worked out with mainline so they dont screw us.. we all know how much our reps have gotten done so far!!!!

what are you some UND F.O. stuck in ROA on Reserve? holding out for the dream that _arrow promised you at the interview? Trust me I've been there ! for over 1 1/2 years, get out while you are still young! go to skywest or Xjet!

 

[Grey Ghost]

no...but good luck at skywest, that 19 bucks an hour is very respectable, but hay you are in a jet, you must be smarter that I.

 

[Grey Ghost]

Hey I'm doing you the favor and letting you know to get out now! PDT is a Great place to start your career but don't get suckered into the 6 year upgrade like so many of your fellow UND Alumni have! then why are Captains flying as FOs? why don't you just retire and go back to the Flight team and practice your Short field landings? Also, my Skywest 2nd year pay is at least $7 /hr more than what you will be earning at 27.75/hr. Also its in a jet not some 30 year old DHC8 with ATARI 2600 Technology! Go for Fifley! Do you wat me to take that $40 out of your paycheck? On Time is from wheels on the ground not when you taxi off!!!!!! BGGGGGGG!

C'mon Sig.....you gotta fill us in on that story.....

The spectacular meltdown occurred with a very, very senior (now retired) Captain- who is a close friend of mine and well, pretty danged good at what he did. He told me the story, as well as the fact that there are (at least) two others.

The kid said something about "I really don't want this leg." It was windy in PHL. CA said, "Your leg, your brief." "I don'wanna." "Either you are flying this leg, or I turn the plane around and let you off. If you do not fly this leg, you are unfit to fly."

The kid cried all the way from SBY to ENO.

** re-reading the way I told it, it seems the CA forced the punk into being unfit. This was planned. He avoided any and all legs that could put him in a 15kt or better crosswind, and that doesn't cut the mustard with this captain. His view was either learn how to do it, or learn how to leave. The kid left.
