Pilot's Fault For No 900s!

[ASARJMan]

Don't you just love the way BL and management try to spin us not getting any 900s because of the pilots? FU Brian! Cut you damn 350K salary, and bonuses, and maybe Delta will give you your 900s then. And Brian's always so quick to post about negoiations so that he can scare pennekamp and Joey merchant, and all you other putzs out there. ASA will survive, and do fine.

Where did he post that? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious.

That's why I never read anything that putz puts out. He always has to throw in a little zinger, shifting blame.

Here's what he said:


This is a good point to segue into the next topic: Delta’s announcement yesterday that

Comair will trade

in 14 CRJ100s for 14 CRJ900s configured with first- and coach-class cabins.
Because of you, we are on an upswing here at ASA. Of course, we would have like to have been
awarded, new CRJ900 flying from Delta, but we are heading in the right direction operationally to position
ourselves as a better partner for future flying. We will make adjustments and find our feet when Delta
takes over our Atlanta operation on June 1 and start a new chapter in our history that includes improving
performance further and becoming more cost effective companywide.​

As always, thank you for what you do every day for ASA and for each other

So you don't get to fly the shinny jet, big deal.

Does ASA have a pay scale for the CRJ-900s. I didn't see it on Airline Pilot Central. Do they expect you to fly it for CRJ-700 wages?

 

[EatinRamen]

It's the same pay on the 700 and the 900 at ASA.

 

[FmrFreightDog]

It's the same pay on the 700 and the 900 at ASA.

No it's not. There is no negotiated rate for any airframe certificated for more than 70 seats. ASA does not have a 900 rate.

 

[Tomct]

Go ahead...Blame Us! We did not take a pay freeze or extend our contract for growth. As far as I am concerned...they can have the 900's, atleast we have our INTEGRITY for NOT bowing to our JackAZZ mgmnt, or following the "proverbial" carrot. Once you fall for it....you will ALWAYS GO FOR IT!!!:smash:

 

[flyboyike]

Don't fall for this nonsense, people. No pilot group ever gained flying and no pilot group ever lost it. This is management's game and their fault alone.

Well Brian keeps putting out these type of memos to rile up the rank and file, i.e. rampers etc. But pretty soon all he's going to be talking to is the people who are fighting for a contract. Good luck!

Hell, if I was a ramper I wouldn't want to see 900s in my zone anyway. Just more bags to throw on and off the plane.

So where's the part where he blames pilots? Or even mentions pilots? You people who say you never read this stuff because it's all lies really need to understand that there are two sides to every story, and the all-holy ALPA side isn't always true either.

I highlighted in red where Bryan said it was the pilot's fault.:erm:

"ALPA’s proposed scope demands are too onerous and restrictive on SkyWest, Inc.’s ability to conduct
business. They also illustrate ALPA’s understanding that if ASA agrees to the current pay rate proposals,
ASA will not be cost effective, will not win new flying and will likely shrink – all jeopardizing not only pilots’​

jobs, but jobs across ASA."

Suck my donkey cock......................... is all I have to say about that.

Posts like these are what is giving ASA pilots a bad name. I am just as mad as the next guy at mgmnt and ALPA for the way things have progressed over the last 4+ years. Nowhere in his newsletter does he even imply the pilot corp had anything to do with ASA not being awarded the CR9. If you are going to whine then at least do it about something he ACTUALLY did or at least had control over.

Oh really now! You need to learn to read between the lines. Why even bother mentioning it, and very quickly on mgt's part, then? Because BL is trying to scare ASA pilots into believing there will be no growth or bigger planes for ASA. All smoke, just like when they tried to scare us by transferring 700s to SKYW. Cost them a bunch of $$$$ to do that, and they stopped after 3-4 planes.

Bad name??? With whom??? Airline management??? WTF cares. Give us a fair contract, and ASA can do what they desire with planes. We only fly 'em.

 

[atlcrjdriver]

ASARJ, there are no lines to read between. He simply said that CMR is going to swap out a set number of 100s for 900s. No smoke and mirrors there, simply making a statement that the AP had already made hours earlier. So calm down fly the current contract and hope the CNC can get us a new contract some time in the next decade.
