Piedmont Recalls

[sucit]

Have there been some new recalls? Other than the 10/4 that was posted by the company.

 

[WSurf]

Nope!

probably aughta name these threads something different that doesn't make the furloughs think there were recalls just by looking at the title... just sayin.... I recommend "Has Piedmont recalled?"

How about you use a question mark in the title?????? Think before you type.

Chill out dude, I have been sooo tired lately from all that open time I have picked up, sorry. Everyone's gotten so sensitive since 9/11, thanks a lot bin laden.

And another thing, for all of you guys that are out there on furlough, stop your wining! I don't want anyone on the street, is really sucks, but for you guys that got hired with 250hrs and probably still had a temp certificate, you won the lottery. I am not saying I would not have taken the job. I am not saying everyone with that time is a baby. I have flown with plenty that are great guys. But too many do not realize what they were given. You will get your job back, be patient. But realize there is more to life than this job. Be smart and use this time to get some life experience. Go did a ditch for the summer, it would do you some good.

Won the lottery??

Umm, I dont know if you got the memo or not but fast food managers make more than PDT FOs. Sure plenty of folks choose to stick with this job anyway because they hope for better prospects later and they enjoy the work - but saying they won the lotto? I think not.

Good old #13!!!!


I think this is what the playbook looks like with this topic:

1) attack the pay rates even if they are 1 dollar lower per hour.
2) if they resolve that then attack the retirement.
3) if the above is resolved attack them if they are non-union.
4) Next attack the cities they fly to if less desirable than your airline.
5) Having trouble? Next attack the fleet type if it is older than what your place has.
6) Go after the CEO.
7) If it all looks solid dig into the airlines history. Target any past pay for training type arrangements. (If you are dealing with a SWA joker happy about his employment- go after the pay for type rating deal)
8) If all the ducks are still in a row go after the attractiveness and age of FA's.
9) Research scab and strike history- you may find opportunities here. Go back 30-40 years if you have to.
10) Look at accident history-this is fair game even if the accident happened as far back as the Carter administration.
11) Consider an argument about upgrade time.
12) Simply make up something and see if you can slip one past the goalie. Make it look like fact by adding numbers/percentages to it.
13) Still nothing working? go after the spelling. Words such as "there" and "your" will always yield you an opportunity. Caution: use spell check when doing this- type it on a word document first-then drop the hammer.

I think the above is how it works after reading these boards for about 10 years now. You will not win here. Whatever you do, make sure you don't have any past posts from years ago that reveal you were trying to get hired at the airline you are slamming, someone always has the time to dig for hours checking past posts. Go back and delete these or register a new user name to get the job done.
