Looking at SWOL, it sounds like that is exactly what is going to happen, unless CALPA can put a (temporary) stop to it until something more permanent will come down the 'pike.

Having been away from this site for quite some time, I guess I should not be surprised the level of (im)maturity..............but I am.

and you are the smartest?

No and I don't claim to be. But, by default, everyone else on this board is smarter than you. :p

all you can do is call people names, and that's it. Nothing else. That means you are a loser.

Just because you can't accept your own stupidity doesn't mean it isn't true. :)

You are cheaper outsourced labor, and the Majors are now making more money and don't need to outsource anymore.

"cheaper outsourced labor" as opposed to "expensive outsourced labor".

"making more money and don't NEED to outsource anymore". -Yeah, they just WANT to outsource now. :pimp:


johnsonrod said:
The mainline guys want their flying back that was taken away because of cheaper RJ operators.

Who is stopping them from taking their flying back? Me. :rolleyes:


johnsonrod said:
UAL uses your CR7s from LAX to SEA. Why? Those sure are small cities.....

You better tell UAL management they are making more money now and don't need to outsource anymore. Write Jeff and Glen a super nice informative letter using all the same critical thinking and originality you do when you post! :laugh:

In the meantime, Virgin America comes in and takes even more market share away.

When you build a better mousetrap and pay near regional wages...


johnsonrod said:
CR7s shouldn't be doing it, and you know it.

You're right. Slap my wrist and take my 700 away for one whole month! :bawling:


johnsonrod said:
Even though you can't do anything about it, you shouldn't think it is normal.

Aye Aye Capt'n Rod. Commencing abnormal thinking and nothing else. :nuts:


johnsonrod said:
UAL got rid of 94 737s to facilitate the merger, not because they couldn't fill them.

Hmm...I thought you said it was because of "cheaper outsourced labor", but now it's to "facilitate a merger". Don't forget to remind your mainline mancrushes of your new found facts. :confused:


johnsonrod said:
Cheap outsourcing is bad for this industry and unfortunately you are a part of it. That practice needs to stop, which will help us all out eventually.

Lead by example OR be the change you want to see.

If you won't do either than SHUT THE ******************** UP! You are stupid! And it's beyond frustrating! :uzi:




Here is your entire post. Unaltered. Please reread what you posted. It is DUMB! :puke:

Hey Skywest pilots stay out of our IAH crewroom. You have never offerd to share yours so don't bother trying to come in ours.

Sounds like there's some sexual tension in the IAH crewroom.

Bro get some knowledge before you post this junk. Suggest you start with Railway Labor Act for Dummies. Then tell me how I have a prayer in court by walking off my job before NMB process. Then I suggest you read DAL vs Dal ALPA 2000 and UAL vs UAL ALPA 2007. Get informed before spotting off like a blowhard...

What a strong union you have "bro". GMAFB. Looks like your "SITUATION" isn't so "under control".
 
members I just spent alot of time in this thread.. there have been suspensions handed out for creative swearing, religious slurs and more.. Just a friendly reminder.. STOP IT>>>

no more warning on the TOS just 30 days in the klink.. happy new year
 
It amazes me how the CAL and other chest thumpers want SKYW guys to take it in the shorts (fired) for their (CAL/UAL) union who hasn't put a stop to this. They have the flying on their schedule and they are gonna do it unless a government official puts a stop to it. You guys kill me with the "you're a scab......" get your damn CAL union to step in and do something otherwise STFU, you're gonna give a guy who makes 20k a year sh_it for the downfalls of you and your union and the winnings of your boss, bunch of lazy Monday morning QB's. It pisses me off to no end that this is happening but what pushes me over the edge is guys who have no balls talking crap to someone who has no control over what flying they do. You guys gonna pay their salary for the rest of their lives if they walk?????
CAL/UAL PILOTS have done a great thing by winning the ruling but it can't stop here, your/our/everyone's BS union needs to grow a pair and keep the fight going.
 
Yeah, it belongs to Skywest Inc, NOT Skywest Airlines.

Just thought I'd throw that out there for the "two separate companies" crowd. I welcome Skywest pilots into my crewroom for for further ALPA education. :)

Speaking of education....
 
Yet you and other CAL pilots seem to want Skywest pilots to walk off the job over YOUR battle....How can you ask another pilot group to do what you yourself aren't willing to do over YOUR battle?

Joe please return to the irrelevant state where you belong. Btw how did the abitratrion turn out Master of Herndon? YOU WERE WRONG COMMUTER LIFER! Joe you are about as relevant as Dan Quayle.

Talk about a dumb diatribe. You love playing for the minors. You LOVE your CR7........Johnsonrod wants OUT of the regionals it seems, and he said he was gearing up for upcoming interviews, which thanks to scheduled retirements will be here shortly. I admire a guy who can see through his OWN part of the industry (regionals) and see what is actually going on. CHEAP outsourced labor thanks to airline BKs, that were not caused by airline pilots, rather bad management decisions. Do you need history repeated to you? Passengers don't like RJs, and thanks to higher oil, airliner managers are starting to dislike them, especially 50 seaters. They will be mostly GONE in the future, and you will see less of those CR7s and more Dash-8-400s, and then you can fly for even less.

I should understand though that you are very likely unhireable. Your cockiness about RJ economics and your lack of knowledge about who actually controls YOUR flying is apparent. Mainline unions control it, via scope clauses. Will the current clauses that were relaxed via a bankruptcy judge be changed in upcoming contract talks? YOU BET. Whether or not all of the larger RJs are locked out (smaller ones will go away natually via higher gas), if some are locked out or contracts not renewed, then it is a win, a win for passengers and for mainline pilots. That is the aim, and the recent arbitration win by CAL pilots towards UAL's management was just a shot across the bow. Get used to it. And, I hope your obvious insecurities start to mend, along with the probable ED you have. Johnsonrod has it RIGHT, and he will be successful eventually reaching his goal. Your goal has been attained already, which was to show everyone that your are THE IDIOT on FI. Have fun in the minors, with NO chance at the Majors.


Bye Bye---General Lee
