SKW Sked+

I've used FLICA, but it's been a few years now.

Some people will piss and moan, regardless of how good they have it compared to others.

SkyWest could tell us that we're going to get $100 extra every other week, and the usual whiners would scream 'only every OTHER week?!!!!"

$10 bucks per duty day sounds about right for SkyWest management and SAPA.

It's no wonder SkyWest has the lowest CRJ 200/700/900 crew costs, except for one outfit.

If ASA uses 10% of FLICA's capability, Air Wisconsin must use 5%.

And we pay more per month for access than ASA does!

You seemed to know very little... ASA has a contract it has not been amended yet.

And yes, your talk is cheap.

www,

Strike a nerve I can see. You are right I know very little about your contract. It's not really a big priority of mine. I was told by one of your fellow pilots that ASA has been without a contract for five plus years. I took him for his word. I guess that was my mistake.

Cheers

The problem is not the software but the guidelines, which are not revealed to the employees and the staffing models which are applied towards the use of Sched+. Seriously, do you people think software limitations are the reason you can or cannot drop trips with either flica or sched+ MESA uses flica, ask those guys. Sched+ is about pacifying a pilot group. I agree that if it did all that is advertised it would be great, but without transparency all it is is smoke and mirrors. Don't buy the hype boys and girls. I want to see some parameters!

Its just a technicality. Under the RLA contracts don't actauly expire, they "become amendable". ASA has been in negotiations for over 5 years, but they have had a contract (the old one) the whole time.

No, your should know what your talking about before you open the trap. SHUTTYYY!

Tried to drop a straight 4day 24hrs credit=failed/staffing.

Split of the first 3days for drop=success

Posted the last 4legs with bzn overnight 10.5 credit =taken

now I have 18days off with 63 credit, so I will add user time or pick up where I need it.

I'm happy!

Congrats, what is your position/domecile?

While not everyone is going to get everything (or anything) they want from Skedplus, so far I still don't really see how this program could be used to screw us over. Maybe it is actualy a good thing?

Like I said Texx just taking the word of one of your fellow pilots. My mistake.

Doug or,

Thanks for the explanation.

a group of UAL pilots is also investigating the idea of de-certifying ALPA

I have read many of your posts and it is obvious you are STRONGLY opposed to ALPA. so my question to you is, what do you suggest is the solution to the HUGE problem we have in our industry? Whipsaw!...Race to the bottom...what is your suggestion? In all of your posts, I have yet to see you propose a solution. I have said it before and I will say it again...ALPA is NOT the perfect answer but it is the BEST option we have right now.

Are you the type of person that takes a test and refuses to answer a question just because you don't like your choices. If you do, you will FAIL the test..and the same is true here! It may not be perfect, but unless you have a better suggestion and are ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IT, we all will lose if we don't come together.

I am not attacking you, but I feel that you are VERY naive.

I've worked at an ALPA regional, have you?

I think the couple of people you have asked this question work for the eastern division of SKW. Your management is treating them badly. ALPA is the only thing preventing an even worse treatment. The long-amenable contract we are working under was negotiated a long time ago and under far different circumstances. Now, the company takes advantage of every angle that it can (both legal and not, when they can get away with it). If it were not for the contract and ALPA's limited ability to get it enforced, things would be far worse than they are. Maybe something like what the NetJets guys call "Strong Union" would be a better deal, but no union would be an absolute catastrophe at Americas Shiityest Airline.

 

[BoilerUP]

Hey SkyNation, how long were you at said ALPA regional?

 

[PBRstreetgang]

I've worked at an ALPA regional, have you?

I have, TSA in '99, and guess what SKYW is moving closer to that type of airline every day, why? no contract. The TSA guys were the most cohesive group I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Without the union that place would have sucked several orders of magnitude worse. Uncle Rico=Hulas, they are cut from the same cloth, milk the pilots for every last minute of work, then throw them some useless bone and laugh all the way to the stock option bank. You keep throwing out that same old tired "I worked at an ALPA regional, have you?" quote and it, just reiterates the adage, the union is only as good as the individuals that comprise it. How many meetings did you attend, how many commitees were you on, exactly you are part of the problem, and your attitude is the problem at SKYW, entitlement oriented, Generation- $hithead idiots. You just don't get it, the very regional you "worked" at sucked because you "worked" there, SKYW is starting to suck now that you and your ilk have started polluting the pilot pool, you were hired because you have a pulse, nothing more.
Do us all a favor, lick the center rail on an electric train, any one you can find!
