They're not scabs, just morons!! Huge difference. I love how people just throw the scab word around without knowing what they're talking about. PS-instead of you'll, try you're.:beer:

 

[gfisher]

I was using scab loosely. I'm from Texas so I would say you'll works fine.

 

[say again]

Isnt it ya'll?? dated a southerner for a while!! Drove me nuts-in a good way.

Enough with the spelling police already people....sh!t... at least now we know the type of people that skybus is actually hiring.

As for the SCAB thing? Who gives a fuk now a days. Since ALPO let all of the CAL SCABS back into the union what does that word really mean? Keeping these skybus idiots off everyones jumpseat is another way of keeping them from growing like a huge zit on your a s s. This whole Ryan Air mentality should be stopped here and now by all the guys offering rides to get them to and from work. Obviously there are plenty of morons out there that will fly anything for 65K a year and bust their hump for some stock options, but getting them to and from work is on all the captain giving them a ride to and from work.

Rant over.....

Anyone have the GoJETS list of pilots?

Exactly, they are not making a very smart decision however since they haven’t crossed a picket line they are not scabs!

Be careful with refusing jumpseat privileges to pilots who simply disagree with you (and me), because they will return your “favor” and in the end commuting pilots at YOUR airline might be the ones getting punished for YOUR actions.

PS-instead of you'll, try you're.

And instead of “wont” try won’t?

Networking - still calling names and full of anger huh? You do realize a very large number of brownie pilots commute, don't you? Those guys you keep calling names and threaten with publishing their names, etc. (which isn't legal btw.) work for airlines that might be our only option of commuting to/from work. Unless they cross a picket line they are NOT scabs! They might be crazy, irresponsible, etc., but they are not scabs.

That company has been in business for a heartbeat and like all of them, they start full of hope and optomism. The point is that it is a damn tough business to get into, it takes time to really get going, know if you go there or any other startup it will be rough for some time, and then give it that time.
A lack of commiunication with ICAO seems like something that should be expected from the way he or she writes.

Wow do I hate the mentality of pilots stated below......

Think about it.... when skybus was just a thought in the minds of the O'Leary clones pilots commuted without any problems, so......... whats changed? Why give these guys a ride to and from work so that it makes it that much easier for them to undercut and destroy this industry even more? Not to throw stones at Jetblue, but how many pilots do you think , in the beginning, would have taken the job with them if they were offered no jumpseats? How many of their pilots do you think would have moved to New York on 50K a year? Very little, if any, if you ask me...... now I'm not trying to start a jumpseat war in any way shape or form, just stating facts. This kind of crap has to stop somewhere.....

You want a jumpseat? FINE.... get a union in place and get your work rules in order, so you're not whoring yourself out to fly an airbus for 65K a year. We all know how many pilots are waiting in line for employment with skybus. IMHO.... something has to be done about this crap or its just going to get worse and worse and worse....

oh yeah.... I've been a commuter for 15+ years.... so spare me the whole, "it makes commuting so much easier speech".

I definitely do see your point and I do agree with you that those airlines drag all of us down, however I do not agree with your solution.

Are you saying that from now on we'll need a "Networ-king approved" jumpseat list? Are you saying that commuting pilots will need not only a flight number, departure time, etc but also a list of captains at the particular airline that will allow jumpseaters from his/her airline? (and yes it is always ultimately the captain’s decision). If so, you’ll need a similar list of first officers at that airline because hey, if he’s going I ain’t going, right?

I say, let the union and the jumpseat committee deal with this. If you do not think we should extend them jumpseat privileges (and thus forfeit our own on their flights) voice your concerns to the union and if they agree with you it'll be done. To make those decisions arbitrarily spells jumpseating chaos to me.

"...now I'm not trying to start a jumpseat war in any way shape or form, just stating facts. This kind of crap has to stop somewhere..."

Oh, I guess I missed something here...

Ok.... then instead of just tearing this whole thing apart and saying no no no.... what do you think is the answer? There is always someone out there that will do what you and I do for alot less and say its just for some experience. Trust me... been furloughed 7 times now and this new mentality of "the new pilot" will not stop at Skybus.....when is enough.... enough? seriously....

Our guys will be just fine commuting the way they've always done.... hopefully without skybus.

The sarcasm is oooozzzzing out of my computer right now....thanks....How about Alpa, IPA, NPA, SWAPA,APA,Teamsters and the rest get together and say......jumpseats only to the airlines that are unionized..... thats an idea...eeehehhh... as for the commuters...I'd rather have a harder commute then no freaking job to commute to, because some new startup took over my companies flying. I know you have an idea how thats like....right?

I say, let the union and the jumpseat committee deal with this. If you do not think we should extend them jumpseat privileges (and thus forfeit our own on their flights) voice your concerns to the union and if they agree with you it'll be done. To make those decisions arbitrarily spells jumpseating chaos to me.Forfeit our jumpseats with other airlines? WTF have you been smoking today bro? If it starts with Skybus...then so be it....we're still going to be jumpseating on everyone else we have and agreement with.....so what are you talking about. I don't see too many people jumpseating on Indy Air anymore and we're still operating..... so what exactly do you propose oh mighty one?

"...now I'm not trying to start a jumpseat war in any way shape or form, just stating facts. This kind of crap has to stop somewhere..."

Oh, I guess I missed something here...

You did miss something.....I never said lets stop offering jumpseats to everyone out there.....just skybus and then the new startup airline that will undercut your company to the point that you have no airline left....think about it....cause this has already happened and something has to change or the slide to the rock bottom will continue till we're all working for peanuts.

 

[AV80R]

Very good point - ok if they can't spell I take them even less seriously than if they do know how to spell. How's that? :laugh:

I don't think you have much to worry about, until SkyBox makes its first flight next year. I hear it will be 10 cents a pound to ship.

I see, so I did NOT miss anything after all. I thought you were talking about starting jumpseat wars and I was against that, at least without the union’s backing. Now you’re saying that you do indeed want to start jumpseat wars however only “selective” jumpseat wars – against the “pos airlines” as you phrased it in the past. Well, I disagree with you on that.

Ok.... then instead of just tearing this whole thing apart and saying no no no.... what do you think is the answer?

Well, you sort of answered your own question:

“The sarcasm is oooozzzzing out of my computer right now....thanks....How about Alpa, IPA, NPA, SWAPA,APA,Teamsters and the rest get together and say......jumpseats only to the airlines that are unionized..... thats an idea...”

That’s exactly my point – that’s the way it should be done – the unions should get together and say ‘OK, from now on we allow jumpseats for unionized carriers only,’ or maybe even ‘no jumpseats approved for such and such carrier.’
I am all for that however it’d have to be a union effort and not some kind of individual jumpseat refusal deal.

Either they are allowed to jumpseat or they are not – not…well, it depends on who the captain on this flight happens to be…and also if the captain happens to be flying with Network-ing…and also if…:erm:

You want a jumpseat? FINE.... get a union in place and get your work rules in order, so you're not whoring yourself out to fly an airbus for 65K a year. ..something has to be done about this crap or its just going to get worse and worse and worse....

I agree, however I want to do this a team effort, a.k.a. union. No arbitrary decisions made by select few; in other words I don’t ever want to get bumped from a flight as a revenge for the guy getting bumped on one of our flights because someone decided he/she didn’t like that particular airline. For example, I hate what TSA did with the Gojet creation however unless our union says that they crossed a picket line, or violated some kind of agreement (which I thought they did?) – and if that's the case our union should announce “from now on we’re refusing jumpseating privileges to such and such airline.”

I think deep down (it's pretty deep but it's there, no really...) we agree on most subjects but seem to have different ideas on how to deal with the problems.

Think about it…

C’mon now, stop stressing me out now – I AM thinking :0 …Just not the way you’re thinking…

I don't think you have much to worry about, until SkyBox makes its first flight next year. I hear it will be 10 cents a pound to ship.

McNugget - “Skybox” that’s hilarious! :laugh:
Wait a minute? Ok, no jumpseats to Skybox :smash: ehhh...skyviators!!!
