[i fly boxes]

Heard it on CNN

 

[Lazy8]

So service and pay will be improving at Skybus? nice.

I would hope anyone owning Greyhound stock sold it before this announcement.

I would also look for Trailways to have a better outlook

Greyhound drivers will immediately begin complaining that the bar has been lowered......

What's the QoL like at SkyHound?
Do the pilots & the drivers get to keep all the change they can find under the pax seats?

I think that should be required and the airlines should “match” whatever the employees find under those seats…You could call it retirement 401Wow - match (“Wow, look what I found ” - match.)

So I had this Greyhound driver on the jumpseat the other day...

Who makes more Greyhound bus drivers or SkyBus pilots?

 

[pilotss]

What's your schedule like?

Well I fly CMH RDU then I drive a bus to NYC overnight then fly to CMH the next day and drive CMH to MOB.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Greyhound drivers top out in the $70s with 401K with company match, health benefits, etc.

I'd say they're the clear winners.

Yea but chicks did pilots.

Finally a merger which makes sense. Think of the cost savings the new company will enjoy because the uniforms are the same.

 

[JetDude]

Is there a flow through agreement? Also...my Dad was checked out on a Greyhound at age 23. Does anyone know of anyone younger?

 

[Fins Up]

Wow. Funniest thread I've read in a long time. Nice work everyone.

My contribution: Since the routes are much different, it is an excellent combination to increase destinations. (That's all I could think of off the top of my head.)

 

[temcgrew]

The new name to be SKYHOUND, or is that what the flight attendants look like?

Not when they're dressed like park rangers.
