PDT reduce fleet, furloughs in the future.

Ironically had a mainline aircraft interior inspector on board the other day and she was complaining about a dash built in '92... And I was like, "apparently you haven't seen our low 900's......."

She was actually very nice and understanding, writing a list of things that needs to be replaced. Which I thought was laughable. Like anything will be fixed. Besides, it's the entire plane that needs to be replaced! OH what I would have given for it to have been the plane we lose next month!

The real kicker: "I thought you guys were supposed to get jets"

Anyone watch the latest crew news? It does not look good for the remaining 7 100's

 

[Metro752]

On ask pissmonts latest update mngmt dropped the seed of the kit for the -100's which is a big tear down and rebuild with new avionics, interiors, and engines. Supposedly they are supposed to meet with the company that does it in march. So obvioulsy we won't get that. Lovely.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Just watched the (s)crew news.

Gee. Thanks Doug.

Meh, pfiefle is the best we can put up there?

Seriously though, can't Jay slip him some downers before sending him up in front of Parker? Slow down there Johnny boy, complete sentences now, mmk?

But yea - sounds pretty certain that we'll be dropping the next 7.

We don't put anyone up there. JP goes out of his way to attend those meetings and ask's Drunkie question about Piedmonts future.

I applaud him for making that effort at each crew meeting.

On a side note however.

On Friday February 27th, attorneys from Alpa National filed suit on behalf of the Pilots of Piedmont Airlines and PSA Airlines in the United States District Court of VA. The suit seeks Injunctive and Declaratory relief over the multi party dispute arising from the alleged failure to provide for wholly owned pilots flow through to mainline. While this step can be considered a major milestone in unraveling this issue, it is important to remember that resolution to this matter may be a long way off.

Someone to pull my finger.

Often.

But that's my kink... Honestly, who gives a shiite? You don't invest in these turds' actions, why should I? I'm so phenomenally over it...

I think we're all over it. The only way to get at these people is the 'Wallet'.

I am for one glad that there's been some legal action taken.

Remember we are working under a concessionary contract. They can have there flowthru, I just want the money they have stolen out of my wallet. It's time to reach into theirs.

I've been so bitter for so long, I honestly don't care anymore.

I just got "short called," except for one minor deet: I'm not on call.

Gotta love caller ID!

Dougweiser saying he'd give back the remaining 7 if he had to make the decision today, the FEEYUCKED occurrence policy, duct-taped planes, Farrow spinning the ASM for the Dash, our airline has 4X the employees as PSA... we're done, dude.

So am I. And I couldn't give two sh**s less about it anymore.

I'm very strongly considering going to Dr. Somerov and getting my Master's degree. This industry is toast, and I will never sell out to a cu ntract carrier to make a buck

Go git 'em, ALPA!

And just in the nick of time!

Wait....you guys do know Mainline has a few hundred on furlough, right?

Seriously, I wish you guys all luck with this crate of crap. ALPA, collectively all three AAA units, somehow managed to screw everyone with all the LOA's and cute little contractions and acronyms over the last seven or eight years. The only winner was the company, who ended up with a gloriously divided bunch of pilots with no work rules.

Nice work ALPA! Keep at it! Success is right around the corner!!! Don't let up now!!! Assess the pilot for more money if you need to, but stay the course!! You'll get 'em!!!!

"good job ALPA",
"Nice work"
"you'll get them"

yeah right

What the hell are you talking about, is this your first experience with ALPA?? this organization is so f****n useless is not even funny... Give me one sceneraio where ALPA came in and saved the day?? just one.....

Look at all the best contracts, which one did ALPA negotiate??

I am sure the only reason ALPA is jumpin on this is to try and stick it too USAPA. When US Airways pilots dumped ALPA that caused ALPA to lose their money. And if there's one thing ALPA cares about is 'Da Money'.

Theres no way that ALPA woulda started legal action against ALPA. But now the game could be on.
