PSA offered 900's

OPECJet speaks the truth.

EDUC8 is right. These A/C belong on mainline. ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED pilots on furlough from mainline. Many of us were hired at USAir or Piedmont 17 years ago and are on the street. WTF, over !

You didn't have to be on the street all this time. You chose to be. Can you say J4J?

Twenty CRJ900s for PSA Airlines?
August 1 marks the deadline for PSA Airlines pilots to agree to US Airways’ conditions for placing 20 Bombardier CRJ900LRs with the wholly owned subsidiary over the course of a year, starting at the end of the first quarter of next year. During a meeting in late June with pilot union representatives, PSA president Keith Houk and other PSA and US Airways representatives presented a proposal that in effect asks PSA pilots to fly the CRJ900s at the same pay rate for which they now fly 70-seat CRJ700s. The contract, which runs until June 2009, would also contain the present “Jets for Jobs” protocol, which requires the airline to make available half of all new vacancies to furloughed US Airways pilots. On July 6 union officials met in Charlotte to discuss the offer and, as expected, the lack of a pay increase met with a near universally negative reaction.

I've met the CP personally. You're lucky to work for a guy like that. Many regionals have tools in that position......

Really? You have met him personally?!? Exactly how is that I am lucky to work for a guy like that? Im lucky because he calls me a tool and he does not even know me? Or am I lucky that I have a CP who blathers on about writing on a bathroom wall when they are constantly Hot Reserving and you are expected to have a quiet room that is anything but because of its proximity to the crew room foyer? The latter seems to be a real problem and a little more pressing if you ask me.
Maybe someday when I am important enough to meet Him personally I can explain to Him why I use the bathroom across the way (without my hat) because those stalls HAVE A F-ING DOOR and are cleaned regularly!

How is PSA screwing PDT??

 

[Terrain Terrain]

Your joking right?

 

[WhatsUpNow?]

Sawmill I am sure you met your CP during your interview. If not, you stated you sat hot reserve a lot, he is always in the crew room. More than likely you guys sat and watched back to back episodes of 'Dawson's Creek' together. Stop whining so much, you big pu$$!

How about they give the 900's to PDT and all the $hitty Dash 100's with no APU's to PSA...a little role reversal...go ahead and sign your new letter of agreement and keep this tornado at USAIR spinning into the ground. Maybe mgnmt should look at the Dash 400 and it's PROFITABILITY before they go send a bunch of new 900's to PSA. If you guys want that flow through agreement you proclaim to have, this isn't going to help one bit. We all know dang well that those planes should be going to mainline, and this just goes to show how spineless you guys really are if this agreement passes. If

Mullet: He may have been at the interview...as I recall someone was there who had to leave right away...that could have been him...not sure though. I dont remember saying I had hot reserve a lot, but when I did it was at 5am...usually called out by 8 and I am sure that was way too early in the am for a CP to make a showing...besides, like I said, I dont even know who he is so I couldnt tell you if he was ever there...he probably was which underscores my point as to why he never made an attempt to know all HIS pilots. You are right on one count though...I am a big pu$$.

PSA pilots arent here to make your life at PDT any easier dork. Quit whining, if you want to do something constructive get with your union buddies and come up with a better proposal than what PSA has then you will get the flying. May the best man win

hey DeAngaFAG

stay outa this fight go back to comair and screw them over some more, instead of backing PSA screwing PDT. ReTARD

 

[gcsass]

That's a great idea D'..... they offer to fly em for min wage then the company tells us they will give us more 900's than god can count, but we have to fly em for tips only....and we need an answer tomorrow. I bet you'd be first on board to sell out for that.

I hope your opinion doesn't represent the majority at PSA.

What does PDT lose? How are they screwing us in this particular deal? Sounds to me like they have to take it up the gicker on this one- I'd be furious at mainline if I was insulted with that proposal, and embarassed if I had to fly a 90 seater for much less than the Dash drivers make.

Put some thought into your posts- you sound like a lavwall militant just saying things to fit in or sound like the old farts.

 

[Terrain Terrain]

your right, i just want to fit one in.

 

[PSAChiefPilots]

Why would you call me a tool? And why are you acting like a child? Are you not an adult? I wouldnt know because you have never even bothered to introduce yourself to me (I was a new hire not long ago) ...every other place I have worked the chief pilot/boss made the effort to welcome me to the company. Do you treat all YOUR pilots like that? That says volumns about the way this place is run. Just my 2/100 of a dollar.

I guess you didn't see my sarcasm towards you, My apologies... I try not to fire anyone, I am definitely not the uniform police and I could care less if you wear your hat in the bathroom, Before you jump to conclusions about the bathroom, Maybe learn the history. I tell everyone I go down the hall to do my business.

I'm around, Keep your eye out for me, we use to go to DAY for every new hire class, now I avoid DAY as much as possible...as far as running out of an Interview, Highly unlikely it was me, I have done probably 95% of the interviews in CLT (or the Sim Evals) but I have other duties besides interviews and I do occasionally have to run out to answer the phone. I'll be glad to talk to you about your concerns about the Crew Room, Hot Reserve and the Quiet Room.

Ask the Ops. Co-ord who's working and have her give you my #.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you called the DL pilot group "whore", or whatever else when they did what they had to do to get the 777s on the property, then went to the negotiating tables? How many of you were even flying an airplane then?

That being said, one way or another, those jets are going to PSA. If they were ever going to mainline, they'd be ordered by now. PDT is not going to allow the whipsaw to be used again. Both MECs are a lot smarter than the first time this came up.

Cheers guys. (Sorry if this made no sense. Had surgery today).
