The Future of UsaJet

[clansinclair]

Leardrvr & T-gates,

I couldn't agree with you more.

Sadly, I'm not sure the leadership and unity is achieveable here because the years of abuse and hardship has driven many to the point of resorting to a cut-throat mentality.

The very most senior pilots only hope to get through the 5 yrs or so they have left to just get out of this altogether. The mid-range seniority pilots are still hoping against hope to finally land the "big dream job".
Most, if not all of the junior pilots, are definitely here just long enough to build the time and resume to move on. They don't want to "make any waves."

That only leaves a handful of us who want to consider this company our last flying job. So without the numerical clout and genuine concern for the future of USA Jets as a company and the employees as well, I have little confidence in the idea of forming our own union or association. That's not say it's impossible, just unlikely at this juncture.

I agree that a national union isn't the answer to what we really need and deserve either. Fortunately, I believe we do have the management that wants to do the right thing. Unfortunately, the perceived needs of the company often overshadows the real needs of its' employees.

The whole siuation is depressing and frustrating for all of us. At this point, it seems we can only hope for the industry to quickly move through this slow period, and begin the job search process in case it doesn't.

Making bad decisions all your life is not being human. It's being stupid. It shows lack of judgment. It shows that your thought process does not think rationally and that you cannot manage your affairs. I have not embarassed you. You have embarassed yourself. If i wanted to embaress you i have so much dirt on you that i could ruin your reputation but i wont.
As stated earlier you have a problem with people telling the truth. I may have to get a restraining order against you due to the fact that you have so much anger inside of you that you were contemplating physical harm against me. I guess my words are hitting you harder than a fist. Please do not take your frustration out on your wife tonight. Try holding on to#5. Please try to grow up in your 50's and help the pilot group get out of this terrible position we are in.

Goaround,

You really are pathetic! You represent the worst in human exsistance.

Say and do whatever you must. I've clearly stated that I bear absolutely no threat to you whatsoever. You simply are not worth it.

At least get your facts straight, I'm currently married to my fourth wife, not at all that unusual in this industry. According to you, I have no reputation to ruin. So knock yourself out with all your "manufactured dirt".

You don't need a restraining order. You need courage, honor, integrity, and decency.

Your pitiful attempts at slandering me don't hurt me, as I have honestly and openly rebutted your futile efforts. However, you tread perilously close to possible liable litigation. Knowing you probably can't afford to lose any more of your pay, I humbly advise you to curb your propensity for defamation of character. All of us would be better served if you relied on the merits of your position regarding the company.

The anonymity of this site is only relative. Your true identity can be revealed under court order, and you can be compelled to appear in court and pay restitution for any findings therein.

Isn't that what I said earlier?

 

[clansinclair]

PCL 128,

I agree with you. If the company does buy our days off, I'd be perfectly happy to accept the current course.

Only time will tell if the current situation is correct. I hope, for all of our sakes, that business activity will improve enough for it to work.

Now that I see that you recognize that there are limits to which "sacrifices" should be tolerated, I can better appreciate your opinion.

CLANSINCLAIR-
Well thank you for calling me pathetic. Definitely feels like you are describing yourself. There is an old quote that applies perfectly to you " when you argue with an idiot he drags you down to his level and walks all over you" After you had violents thoughts about me you are now contemplating suing me. The only thing i can tell you is go ahead " Make my day". I'll even lend you the money to sue me you lowlife.

Talk about some serious dirty laundry!

This is almost as good as one of the soap operas my wife watches.

Go AROUND, you are sad. Grpw a pair and talk to the guy to his face, what the hell do you care if he has been married 4 times? At least he has a proven track record of being able to score with the ladies.

Why is everyone arguing?

Don't sweat it guys.

I'm pretty sure I read recently that USA Jet either went out of business or is going out of business soon.

So relax.

As Mark Twain said, "Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated” So it is with USA Jet.

Cool ... I knew there was an upside to my three divorces. Thanks!

8th degree black belt???

Goaround,

It is also a well-known fact around the company that I have an extensive background in martial arts training to include an 8th Degree Black Belt, as this was my career prior to becoming a pilot. Past experience has taught me well the aforementioned consequences of participating in physical combat with someone like yourself, which ultimately required me to file one of the bankruptcies you mentioned. .

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I have to say something here.

If you were a real 8th degree black belt ... and not some local "bought and paid for" 8th degree black belt, you would not be in this argument.

If you are an 8th degree black belt, you should go back and read some of your posts, comtemplate what you have said, and try to remember what you taught to your students.

Have a little dignity.
