Tell Timmay to f@#$ off

All excuses to be a big whore, and sell themselves out. They have no problems letting the junior fall off the radar. I've seen twice the senior pilots there vote down health care coverage for furloughees.

I agree with you Jet. In the past, those left on the list during previous furloughs could have voted to help those out on the street.

As they say, what goes around...

But now, those 200+ pilots hitting the street now, IMO, have will likely never come back. So their possible majority vote will really stick it to the folks who hung them out in the past.

Issues like this really underscore how little unity there can be.

Sure, I bet its the pilots in the bottom half who were unified on the "full pay to the last day", CL wait and see.

Hey FlyWolf, when do you guys vote?

I'd imaging there is some serious stroking of the furlough fodder by those that would still be left. Hopefully that group is in the majority and vote down the draconian pay rates.

I truly believe that group would not want to be remembered for lowering the bar....

We'll see....

No official vote. The term sheet was simply the companies opening offer, insulting as it was.

AirTran hasn't taken any cuts, you stupid putz, and we won't, either . . . . We're already overworked and underpaid.

Perhaps you should get some accurate info, instead of pillow talk from your flight attendant boyfriend. :laugh:

Dude, you are one funny mofo!:laugh: Agreed, no concessions even if it means I get furloughed. It wouldn't be the first time, nor the last I'm sure.

What will be the hire date of the junior pilot if they furlough 200?

200 on the street should go back to 1997 or so.

I just hope they let us vote before we get $hitcanned. I don't think the company will negotiate, its a take it or leave it payrate. They just want to force the company into Ch. 11 so they can get rid of leases and contract and get a do-over on the entire airline. If the pilots vote down the paycuts then the company can point the finger at the pilot group. That is why the payrate is so low, they want us to vote it down... my .02 8

Furloughed or not, you'll get a vote if it comes to that. However, if your MEC has any balls at all, they'll tell management to stick it, and not even send those pathetic terms to the pilot group.

.

at a certain point its not worth voting on. Unless you want to make a statment. an 85% vote down would just show how cowardly and ununified this pilot group is. If the MEC was really operating in the best intentions of the group it would just walk away from the table until managment gets serious about a contract.

I see the proposal for pilot paycuts, both CA and FOs.


So, what's the management paycut?
