Skybus Pilots Have To Buy Water On Their Time Off

[Jack Mehoff]

I bet the NJA guys that left to go fly an airbus at SkyBust are really feeling top of the world right about now! HAHA

NJA will be rid of the Teamsters soon as well

Skybus guys I hope you enjoy being one of biggest jokes since GO! and HoJets!

HA! Let me get this straight. First they agree to work for faily low wages, and now they want to unionize? wow.

Ireland's Ryanair, on which Skybus is largely based, has had a contentious history of refusing to negotiate with its pilots union.

UPS pilots don't have to fly on Ryanair in Europe. What does that tell you about Skybus?

HA! Let me get this straight. First they agree to work for faily low wages, and now they want to unionize? wow.

Why not? If Skybus is reneging on year 2 pay raises, why not unionize? What other kind of smoke has Skybus' management been blowing up the pilots' asses?

 

[realmanofgenius]

they're not reneging...they knew there was no year two pay. nothing but promises. I salute them for getting ready to stick it to them. they'll find other jobs and leave in mass exodus..

what smoke you say? try promises of returns of 68 to 78 a share.. see where the dow transports are right now? in the teens and singles... they were promising this to my bud who turned it down back in dec when oil was 88.

don't fault the pilots for just trying to pursue a career. guess what lawyers at big firms make more than small firms... same with doctors..give 'em a break.

Labbats you do realize that your post makes no sense right? You are comparing Apples and Oranges. You compare alter-ego scabs to guys that in your opinion are not keeping up the airline compensation level, you do realize that, right? Before you call someone a SCAB you better be sure about what you are talking about, that is a term that can really destroy a career. My 2 cents. uba757

Talk about a post that makes no sense. Technically you are the one that used the term SCAB not labbats. I think the point is that teamsters is doing a little slumming thats all.

Your 2 cents has lost some value.

Are you blind or just dumb. GOD. You know the idea is to read and then interpret right. So why is the IBT slumming with their representatin of GoJets? I know the answer, Do you? By your answer, I guess not. Skybus is a completly different situation and there is no comparison between one and the other, one should not compare apples and oranges. uba757

Calm down Suzy. Shouldn't you be at Costco the pax are getting thirsty.

You've got to be rationalizing pretty hard to accept a Captain position on an Airbus for 65K/yr.

Hey moron does that comment make you feel superior. I am sorry that you have an inferiority complex but hopefully you will get over that eventually. Next time I get laid-off from a job, I will make sure I give you a call to see if you approve of the next job I accept. uba757
