Regions Air????

[Smiliner]

If they gave you seniority based on date of hire it would be a good thing. The CA's would all get big raises after a protracted fight with Orensink but since the rest of his operations are getting their money you would get yours.

Belch you and I both know that won't happen. UNFORTUNATELY, it's easier (and cheaper) for Mesa to just let Regions die (DISCLAIMER for people like Doug...I'm not saying that Regions is going to die...yet) and then come in and pick up the pieces without having to pay for anything.

Unfortunately I think you're right, I don't see Mesa as the type to give handouts to a floundering airline. If it is Mesa, they'd probably replace the JS with the 1900 would be my guess

Dougy did you cook one of those valuble GE engines??? The dipsticks should have gone with Pratts!

hehehehe...

It's a trick question. "CT7-5A2" and "Valuable" can't be used in the same sentence! Isn't the ITT redline at like 98 degrees farenheit?

Niether of you retained the important part of my quote. GET YOUR TEAMSTERS DUES PAID UP!!!

Now that I have made myself clear I will tell you why. Circa 1999 Mesa bought CC Air. CC Air had Jball drivers making over $50/hour! Well, we all know that orenstink couldn't have that sh1t so in the wake of 911 he got them to accept the regular Mesa contract by telling them that they would all be flying jets in six months. Then he moved Air midwest in with their crappy contract maintained 1900's and started furloughing the CC Air pilots. After several lawsuits orenstink was forced by alpa to take back the CC Air crews.
For the most part they are CRJ Captains now getting about $65 per hour...

think about it carefully boys and girls...

You guys have a union...it is only as good as the time and money you put into it, like anything else. But if this is for real you could end up sitting on the bench for a while, collect unemployment (it's less that crapex pay but it got me through), end up with some back pay and in the seat of a fracking pos RJ making more money that Corpex is worth!

Get your collective heads out of the sand (okay, I know better than you that corpex isn't a pretty sight compared to sand in your eyes) but that Teamsters thing may be the only thing you have going. Get whoever is leading that local now off his/her preoccupied arse and present a unified front!

It was always every man for himself at that place. Lord knows I tried to do good for my crews while I was there and if I still was I'd be saying the same thing and trying once again to rally the troops. (Lord, sometimes it just got so tiresome beating my head aginst the wall...)

For the love of your individual careers if for nothing else get it together and get your union local up and active!

If you are willing to do it-I mean get the local active and pay your dues- I will PM doug the name of the Captain that should be running that thing...

Lord, why? I'm not in that house anymore...but I still so muchly hate seeing good folks getting screwed! Still leading the charge I guess...by remote control this time...go forth my minions and do good! All you have is each other-and the union!

Anything like the Pratt lying in Lake Michigan?

I know that there was a Pratt that fell off a 727 back in the 80's too out over Arizona-AA if I recall correctly-but I'm not sure that was the engine's fault.

There was the Israeli 74 in Amsterdam where a mount failed, one in the 90's out of ANC on a freighter that turbulance caused a mount failure...

I think somewhere I read something about the one in Lk M...seems that the NTSB report blamed the pylon...ya got to hate it when that happens-what a waste of a good engine!

On the other hand, do you think a pylon or mount will fail when it is supposed to? Aw heck no! I know of two instances of magnesium fires on round motors where the wing burned off before the mounts failed...that really sucks!

I just hope all y'all are able to get through with Regions before they get through with you...

Pan Am had a 707 back in the sixties. #4 crapped out (disk failure I believe) and took 25 feet of wing with it.

That might actually be worse than just going out of business.

For What It's Worth.....

The only pilot that left here in April, WhateverUWant, had the initials BG, was an FO, and didn't leave on his own but was asked to leave (okay, told, but why make it harsh?). That would explain the (somewhat) hostile attitude towards Regions, wouldn't it? Am I close, or not?

It's easy to leave ten early...hehehe. Lots easier than getting fired from Regions!

Um no. When I was at Regions, I never called in sick. Let alone FORGET to call in sick.
