Skywest new pay proposal! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[John Pennekamp]

So, you are the former Capt Dick Cranium? So that explains everything. Did you recieve any Comat containing Kool-Aid yet. Darn it, I sent it to the wrong person. My bad, I should have known better.

Oh Yeahhhhhh!

 

[John Pennekamp]

While we're talking about Kool-Aid, were any of you scared by the Kool-Aid man as kids?

Those old commercials where the kids were enjoying a nice cup of Kool Aid and suddenly that big red pitcher busted through the wall and shouted "Oh Yeahhhhh!" used to give me nightmares.

I always found it pretty easy to get the -200 up to .77...if you kept a lot of speed on the wing in the climb (300kts to .74m) and it wasn't above ISA+10 aloft. At ISA, .80m wasn't out of the question if you had a long cruise segment to accelerate.

Would you get there at a max gross takeoff in the summer cruising in the mid 30s? Probably not...but if wasn't your Commute Leg who cares about flying that fast?

That said, I wish my current airplane would cruise .74.........

 

[PBRstreetgang]

So did I. Some Riddle grads wear the Flight Team Leather Jacket and sunglasses to bars and brag about the Performance Envelope of the Mighty CRJ to the ladies. Some of us don't. Just guessing that Captain Richard Cranium is more the former than the latter.

Guys,guys,guys,
Can we get back to chucking rocks at the SKYW dickscratchsers, pilots is pilots and dickscratchers are pogues. Lets all get the rocks downrange towards the appropriate targets!

Oh by the way, are you still not letting non-union pilots fly jumpseat in "your" airplane?

Which is pretty much what I've been saying. Unlike Captain Richard Cranium who cruises his Mighty CRJ-200 at .77 "all the time".

Who? Me or PBR?

 

[10nCLR]

Who? Me or PBR?

duh, both of you?

 

[John Pennekamp]

duh, both of you?

I haven't had the opportunity yet. But I do have a list of many the 35%ers and OC members that I keep in my flight bag next to the scab list. Actually lots of us do. They're circulating around. Think of it as a fly list and a no fly list.

 

[10nCLR]

That's funny, cuz I just flew on one of your flights.
You have a list with over 500 names on it. That calls for some Kool-Aid.

 

[WalterSobchak]

One last thing for PBR...(from the dispatcher forum)

That pretty much sums it all up.

You flew on my plane or on an ASA flight?

Real leverage comes when you control the flying and it can't be given to someone else....None of us have that at the regional level..... ALPA or not.....

Your at XJT, and you were penalized because your compensation and workrules went to the top of the pack..... As was CMR, ALG, PDT, ACA, Air Wisc., etc.

If you ALPA cheerleaders want real leverage, you will have to convince ALPA national and the mainline MEC's that there has to be true "brand scope"....

Don't confuse "leverage" with "ALPA membership"....they aren't the same.....

I know your pet peeve is the brand scope and you make really good points with that. But you cannot deny there is more leverage at one place compared to another when looking at the overall performance, health, and future of a company. That is all I'm saying.

By the way, it was later told to us that CAL was going to take that flying away from us regardless because they wanted to diversify their regional feed to prevent a Comair type situation. As a matter of fact, we have managed to increase our pay rates and improve work rules twice since CAL announced they were taking 25% of their flying away from us. There had to be some leverage there to do that, dont you think?

And this is leverage that Skywest pilots dont have regardless of how much you minimize that leverage.

Guys, guys, guys...this only came up because I asked if the 200 was slower than the 700/900 and therefore the BHO was a wash. Is this the case or not?

 

[10nCLR]

ah yes, you don't remember. I had to cut you off cuz you had way to many cups of Kewl-Aid.

Amen to dat, bruda Walter.
