I have over a dozen pending grievances still at PCL.
2 of your pilots sat down with me over a couple beers and went over my schedule and paycheck for a 2 month period. They couldn't believe it; applying MSA CRJ rates AND work rules to my flying line yielded only a 2.3% difference in pay.
Incorrect. Witness 2 pages back where Mr. Happiness was still thumping his chest that 'MSA will STILL have a contract that -9E WISHES they had'.The only one doing chest-thumping around here is you, lear
Thank you for proving my point.lear- you and I can proclaim all we want to about how we need to put it all on the line- our jobs, careers, our liberty, and our homes(jail and lawsuits/fines for illegal strikes). But speak for YOURSELF, and fall on your own sword if you want to.
Depends. It would only be irresponsible if there were a large demographic ASKING for that alternative. If the vast majority of your pilots were sending in strike ballots and telling their reps 'Not one Red cent', then the NC should have stuck to that.It would be the height of irresponsibility for a leadership group to not provide an alternative to a term sheet, which WOULD set rates at new lows (sub-mesa) or an illegal job action which would place people in jail and cost individuals their homes.
Yup. Both. 2 kids and a $200k house. I also have other skills to fall back on if my company DID tank after a work stoppage or choose to liquidate. It's called 'being prepared'.Do you have a family? A mortgage?
No, it's not. It's called SOLIDARITY. We live in a symbiotic professional field, whether people like it or not. When guys bailed Mesa for Freedom and Ornstein's b.s. succeeded when the Mesa pilots folded, management used those new rates against you. Now that you have folded, PCL management will use both Mesa AND your rates agains them.If alpa national wants to band together (read-the well-to-do's, also) and call for a Shutdown of Service, I'll be there, but your expectation that WE protect YOUR industry FOR YOU is HYPOCRITICAL.
I never said YOU didn't fight this. Go back to my first post and read objectively, you'll see where I said it was WRONG for people to try to 'punish' MSA pilots over this and congratulated the few who voted NO.And you can Ki** my working-stiff pilot A** if you want to tell me I did not fight this
What's with the bold type? No need to shout.Classic! Dude has 13+ pending grievances pending at PCL while at the same time he displays his ignorance by trying to convice us that the PCL contract is better than the XJ contract.
Oh, I see. You were there and saw it all...Lear further claimed that he compared paychecks and schedule summaries with Mesaba pilots over a few brews.....<coughing>...BuII$hist!!!
Only a true FI tool would "Claim" that he compared pay stubs and schedule summaries while sitting at the bar drinking beers with pilots of other airlines. I can just picture the sceen at the bar that evening.......
Mesaba pilots drinking beer on a layover and talking with some ladies and up walks Lear with w-2 and logbooks in hand. Lear says...."hey you guys work for XJ....lets compare" Mesaba pilots look at each other and roll their eyes while cute gals laugh. Mesaba pilots leave with girls and Lear goes up to his room alone and whacks off.
So basically, what you're saying, is that you have NOTHING intelligent to say on the subject, no ability to debate with facts, simply sling mud in your anger and frustration.screwed_again said:Slam away, I gotta get back to wrenching...
"Wrenching" is an euphemism for masturbation.
TAWS,
I like your style. Seeing as you are able to peer into the future, I was wondering; when am I going to upgrade? I'd like to do some planning and would sure love to know when it's coming. The insider info is certainly appreciated.
