Blaming the Union for any of this is rich...

You know if you had paid attention (which you obviously willfully did not.) that none of what is happening now is under the control of the IBT or the Negotiating Committee. Until we have a ratified CBA, management can do as they please. This was exhaustively explained over and over again. it's all part of the RLA which is Federal Law, also not under the control of the Union(s) either.

I marvel that you are so willingly exposing how ignorantly lazy you really are. You can be anti union, whatever, but it would help your credibility tremendously if you at least had a clue about the process before spouting off.

You're dead ********************ing wrong, Ohgoon, Rigger's 'da man. He's got a good bead on things. it's that damned union's fault. THEY lost $40 million, THEY furloughed, THEY imposed 8/6, etc . . . . get a clue, Ohgoon!!! ;)

Oh you're right, my apologies to him. How could I forget how much love SO, BS and Phildo and their clown show had for all of us. If only the Teamsters hadn't made em cry, they would still be here making it all better...:laugh: :puke:

Now that is a very valid question??

Wonder how he would respond on that new "Ask Phil" thing. Can't you just feel the love?

To the CA pilots...

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Albert Einstein
 
FYI - I recently met a former CA pilot just hired by Spirit and he seemed quite happy flying the Airbus. Sounds like Spirit would welcome more CA pilots and they are growing big time...

Big expansion plans to be announced soon?

Heard a rumor that Citation air is planning an announcement regarding growth and expansion. Cessna has been anxious to announce these aggressive changes as their sinking vessel of money is in desperate need of rescue.

The expansion consists of a rapid growth in the number of pilots being furloughed and an unprecedented number of aircraft being released from the ever shrinking fleet of evil private jets.

Has this ship of fools finally run aground?
 
For all the award winning yellow tie dudes, an ACP has announced that he will be at the WIA conference looking for guys who called in sick during those days. Even though they've said to go to Plan B looks like they're interested more in Plan FU for the pilots. I'll pay $100 bucks cash to the guy who films himself telling the management A-hole to F himself.
 
I am hearing from folks 45 furloughs and 13 downgrades in April.
 
Here is some food for thought for the folks who think we are not going to close our doors. The company that I fly contract for is having serious maintenance issues with their soveriegn, so Cessna gave us initially a citationair jetcard last week. The director of maintenace in Wichita told us since Citationair would not be able to most likely supply us with the lift we need, that they would get us a jetcard with someone else. Not knowing I work for CA, I asked why they would not be able to supply lift? His exact words were "they are being shut down". The sad part is, everyone out there knows it, but our management does not have the class to tell us. It was a good job while it lasted. Atlas here I come.

I think he may be looking for a job himself. Management guys need to feed their families also.

Then he should help his fellow pilots out and look the other way. Those kind of actions can get you hurt. Like we aren't trying to feed our families too. A tool like Jeff just needs to find a new career in A$$ Kissing.

If he has half a brain he will be there - with his resume in hand like everyone else. Just another "big fish" in a drying up pond.

?: Where did you hear that?

A: The internet.

Q: The internet?

A: Yea, they cant print anything on the internet that isnt true.

Q: Really? Where did you hear that?

A: The internet.

:laugh:

I'm calling BS on this one.
 
I hope for my former co-worker's sake you are right. I would sure as hell be actively looking elsewhere if I were in their shoes - not based based on a single internet posting but on the totality of what has happened at CA over the last year and continues to happen today.
 
How are they going to justify keeping FU with such a low pilot count? TF back to HPN full time? My, that could get a bit uncomfortable...:nuts:

A very nasty rumor, although one that brings sunshine into my darkened day, is that he is gone....
 
TF is leaving. He is going to Hoppajet. Before you ask C680. Source? TF himself. I bet he wishes he Had not given up his United number now.

My source was the Director of maint at Cessna in Wichita like i mentioned in my post. OH! He probably doesn't know anything though. The guys in 3 American lane will let you know the truth. HA! AT least i like your optimism.

Call BS all you want. He is in china now, 13 hour time difference let me now how that works for you. Lol. I know you meant a different BS but i could not resist.
 
Q. Will there be additional compensation for Day Eight?

A. There will be no additional compensation for Day Eight. (BBBWWWAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!)

Q. Will overtime still be available?

A. Yes, when there is an operational need and it will remain an available option. (Or we might just force you to do it . . .) Sidenote: I'm really looking forward to 9 on. Hey, gotta' do my part so the *ildo's get their bonuses!


Q. What is the benefit of adding a Day Eight to the current tour cycle?

A. Increased productivity without increased costs. (To make sure Phildo gets his bonus from Cessna.)
