Idiot? IDIOT? SKYNATION CALLED ME AN IDIOT!???

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! :laugh:

I was quoting profit too.

Try a little harder next time, pal. I'll lay my W2 next to yours any time.

But keep following Uncle Jerry off the cliff, my little lemming. What you don't know is that he and the boys have a parachute.

Do you?

I was talking to PBR.

and you should make more than me, I'm only in my 4th year!

Nonetheless, I would expect you to take the high road and not be the one calling names when you lack a good rebuttal. Especially after all of your lectures about acting professional we've endured from you.

 

[SkyNation]

ok. when you get to the 'high road,' be sure and point it out to me.

Don't forget, SkyNation is "one of the good guys!" I feel better reading his posts knowing that! Hey, SkyNation, good job on your pilot group putting Skyway pilots on the street. First Air Willy out of Denver, now Skyway out completely. I'll just let them know "you're one of the good guys." You're certainly much like the FAA, here to help (yourself).

The difference is NetJets is a great place to work and continues to get better, the regionals are not a good place to work and have not gotten better. Much safer than sitting at the bottome of a mainline list as well. To each their own though.

Consolidation, not growth, is happening at the airlines.

When the economy is bad the first thing cut from a corporation is its flight dept.. While you guys are fractional if the economy keeps its pace of bad, Corps. are going to start making their employees fly airlines and hold off on the private jets till they really need them. This will put Fractionals in the same place or close to the regionals, if it stays this way for a long time.

Rich folks tend to stay rich, for the most part. While I agree with you, when a Company has a "flight dept." and there is a financial pinch, that is the first to go. Fractionals such as NetJets don't operate on simple revenue. Mr. Buffett gets a lot of money up front (float money), then uses it to invest--In the big picture this yields much more for Berkshire Hathaway. When you have the greatest investor of all time owning your Company, I'd say that's about as stable as it comes. For the most part and as far as I know, NetJets is just beginning to be profitable. If it's lost that much money for years, and still thriving--something good is driving it. I would say NetJets is about as stable as there is.

Hey, Trojan, the SkyWest guys can't help it if the airline they work for is a more soundly ran operation. I guess if they really wanted to they could, but then they would be screwing over their own quality life. Maybe ALPA can come in and get these SkyWest pilots to start being less productive. that's the ticket.

...or at least add a layer of red tape and bureaucracy that the majority doesn't want or need.

Um news flash, the drive failed. You can quit campaigning for the no vote anytime now...

Amen to that
Skypest winners hmm I guess they don't have anyone to screw over today. Wait, the day is young.

"Any new collective bargaining agreements entered into by other regional carriers may also result in higher industry wages and increased pressure on us to increase the wages and benefits of our employees. Future agreements with unionized and non-unionized employees may be on terms that are not as attractive as our current agreements or comparable to agreements entered into by our competitors."

Sweet! At least you'll keep a quick upgrade, kick Air
Willy (one of the BEST Regional Contracts) out of Denver, and put Skyway out of business to boot!! Good job.

I am curious if the anti-union types at SkyWest are planning on moving on from their regional, or are planning on becoming career CRJ pilots.

 

[wscrj]

vtech,

My point is essentially that I (and all ALPA pilots) commit a portion of our earnings to the defense and furtherance of the profession as a whole.

How do you (and SKYW) reciprocate?

Like old Ben Franklin said. If we don't hang together, we will CERTAINLY hang separately.

 

[Tomct]

how much of a raise would we be getting right now if we had votes YES? that is, after the 1.9% we'd lose.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.:laugh: Man it could not have happened to a better group! I am truly sorry for those that were smart enough to vote for a Union, but hey.....I bet Jerry still loves you and your cuddling there nation! What a Deusheeee!
AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA:laugh:

 

[Flyerdan]

If we had a union we would be talking about a slightly higher pay raise (five years from now). I say lets take this one and then renegotiate again in 6 months to set the bar for the other regionals.

Man! Here's a guy looking at taking an incoming round or two. Sound thinking on your part but you better duck, Flyerdan. I think you may be being lined up in the crosshairs of the FI brain trust mass assault response team as I type.
