SA gets the shaft???

27OCT

I have been away for a weekend, but this is what was posted in the crew BB by someone who hopefully knows more than the average shmoe in the corporate intranet, after a question was posted about 10/27...

Many things are happening at the present time, as always, rumors abound. Some of these rumors are based in fact and some are complete speculation. A memo was supposed to be sent out late yesterday or today detailing the position the company is in. Unfortunately, this memo has been delayed as talks are still going on between some of the parties involved. At this point, unfortunately, no news is good news. Please try and remain focused on the most important task at hand, flying the aircraft safely.

WELL ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS F**** WEXFORD....We have all worked hard for them...and what do we get...and not the pilots...but everyone else....WHO HAD NO CHOICE IN TAKING A PAYCUT...Now will CHQ or Republic hire any of us...NO...because we work for SA...and there is some sort of clause....B*******...so now I am off to ACA...and f**** you WEXFORD

Off to ACA? To work ramp?
Currently, ACA has 86 pilots on furlough and approximately
350 in the pool. And, they are going to retire ~ 25 aircraft
by summer '04.

CORRECTION: 96 pilots on furlough at ACA (not 86)

Hey, I.P. Freley

Where are we going next? Or should we split up and break the curse?

There is no provision for shuttle in the new CHQ TA. I have talked to other chq pilots about shuttle guys in the past-all have been positive and I'm sure we all will do whatever we can at CHQ if/when you guys need us.

SA Pref Hiring...

Per the CHQ MEC at the Roadshow:


The CHQ MEC was looking out for Shuttle. They negotiated a Pref Hiring clause for the SA pilots. This lasted 5 days until management pulled this clause out of the contract and refused to keep it. This was due to the fact that SA turned down a concession.. ( Which was the right thing to do).

Sorry guys...They did try...

I would think the more accurate term would be "uncooperative".



Does this remind anyone of the Dred Scott Decision (ca. 1857)?

Bonus points if anyone knows what the h*** I am talking about.
