Scheduling calls on your day off......

[WayBack]

Hahahahahahaha

"We would like to inform you of some premium pickup flying if you're interested....."

Premium pick up flying is a trip to the Bahama's empty with 10 Asian hookers and a bag of Columbian Bam Bam.

Just get hammered so when they call you you can do this......

"...we went out on the Skidoos and drank five million thousand gallons of wiskey..."

 

[sweptback]

Don't know about that. It is now official communication. I think it would stick quite nicely in a grievance.

Wait, so our company can supersede our contract by official communication? Come on now, you know better than this...

I would take a picture of that ACARS and take it to BH at your first opportunity.

Wachoo talkin' 'bout Willis?
BH is just starting to dust off his bag of trick perfected on us.
Thank god he is your problem now! When you see the local Special Ed short bus pull up in front of HDQTRS, and the V.P. of Scheduling comes out to greet them personally, and welcomes to their first day as Skrew Skedulers you will start getting a taste of what we endured.
Good Luck

The SKYW SS tards are burning up the phone line trying to cover their incompetence ASAP. Wait till BH pulls the rest of his nasty tricks out of his banana hammock! Keep a roll of duct tape close to the phone, when he starts pulling the next nasty trick out, your jaw will bounce off of your shoe tops, the tape will come in handy.
Than god he is yours!

File a grievance that by offering more than the contractual rates they are violating the compensation section of the contract.

Why? I got asked once and it was some B.S. turn midday that I was legal for. I was already at minimum days off, all they could do was ask. I said I'd do it for the hourly and $500 bucks. Scheduling thought I was nuts. I said that those are my pay conditions for doing the flight. Needless to say, they called the CP who said no, they didn't find anyone, and they cancelled the flight. I'm sure the rebook was worth it for the company and all of the PO'd customers flying an airline that can't staff its own aircraft. $500, long term, was absolutely the best option. BTW- The outcome didn't change much, as both Skyway and Midwest are just a part of history now.

In my opinion, once you step outside the contract for work, you also step out for pay. Put the ball in your court. If they can't make you fly the trip, ask for whatever you want. Pull numbers off of road signs if you think it will help.

Just remember, don't help if there are those on furlough. If it's low staffing, go for broke.

asayankee- I thought everyone that was a former Captain had the opportunity to bid back? How many #'s did you miss it by?

He could have bid back, he probably didn't want to go to IAD I'm guessing.

Not in ATL... There are still quite a few former CP's who have not been able to re-upgrade in their original base. I'm not going to commute to sit reserve in IAD. I'll sit reserve in my home town but not 700 miles away. Plus I dont have commute and am not interested in adding one just yet.

Huh? I saying the guy would have a case against the company. Just like Papa Georgio screwed up and put out that communication that all trips were premium pay. Then they pull it real quick. Those guys still get paid. Or does the MEC have to waive the rules for a pilot to get 200%?

So, watcha talking about Willis?

You're not getting it.

Hypothetically speaking, what if the company sent an ACARS message to somebody saying they were extended, but only at 100% pay. The union would be quick to shut that down, right? Ok, then, tell me how the same message at 200% is any different? Except this time, the company's the one that would shut it down (any excuse would work -- they weren't authorized to offer that, it was a typo, etc.)

I'm not saying the guy wouldn't get paid 200%. I'm just saying that you're walking a slippery slope when you do something extra-contractual, in the sense that the union can't fight for you. If you agree that the company can amend our contract by email or ACARS, well keep in mind it goes both way. You let them get away with it now in your favor, the next time maybe it won't be.

The difference about the email about premium trips is simple. Premium pay trips are already defined in the contract. All the company has to do is post notice saying which trips are and that's exactly what happened. There's nothing extra-contractual.

Just had an ASA captain telling my F.A. that we would be getting B.H. back!!!
Don't know where he got his info, but said he was sure about it?!

Oh snap,
You just harshed my buzz, the mere thought made my sphincter clench tight enough to bend rebar with it. If BH is coming back to SKYW, that means they plan to merge the entire enchalada together, and chipster will be playing golf with R.Reber. and BH will become the new honcho.
Dang!

I'm late to this party, but you guys need to look into Google Voice. It's free, you get a new phone number and it only forwards calls from the company when I want them to. My phone hasn't rung on a day off in 8 months.

Sorry about harshing your buzz....If there's any remote chance this is true, Halloween would be my guess on the timing?!
