To ASA Pilots..

[FmrFreightDog]

Had a Captain I was flying with last week come storming into the airplane ranting about how "They're reopening Dallas. I just came from Dallas and they're setting it up now!". The FA and I just kind of and let it go.

Just a bit high strung, this Captain.

I'm guessing..... M.K. .......

Thank the Lord! Chuck was one of the worst people ever to be employed at ASA. I surehope no one is stupid enough to hire him in this industry, but I'm sure he'llturn up at one of his "buddies" airlines.Buh-bye dumb@ass!

Here Are Some More...

I was also in that meeting room when they closed big D. I thought Skip did a pretty good job showing sympathy for us. But as for CT it was a different story. It was kind of like good cop (skip) bad cop (CT). There were many questions in that room from tearry (is that how you spell it) eyed DFW people that he flatly answered "nope, thats your responsibility" or " no, we cant help you with that". Arms crossed in a defensive posture the entire meeting.

I was in recurrent when we found out about his departure. Ya'll should have heard the thunderous applause in that room!

Whatever!

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Nevermind

 

[bailout]

yep, E.H. and D.M next.....

 

[~~~^~~~]

Deleted, since he is not gone yet and we know he is a petty, vindictive, lying, son of a goat herder's uncle. ( No disrespect to goats, or their herders intended )

Wonder if our question to Mr. Atkin about the employee opinion survey results got attention?

You know, with these kinds of changes, could ASA actually be in the process of becoming a decent place to work? Could SkyWest actually pull off the transformation that Delta only talked about?

Well Skip wasn't the Messiah. A DFW pilot asked "is it possible to work on a commuter policy for the pilots." Skip said, "no, you should live where you work."

Skip and Bryan also told us it would be better for the airline if pilots would leave after attaining five years of longevity. That is loyalty, isn't it?

 

[ohplease!]

in a company memo from today.... D.M. and L.B. have left the building.

E.H. to go soon????

 

[Borntofly1982]

well its nice to know you all are happy!

 

[ASAFOE120]

well its nice to know you all are happy!

How can you tell?

 

[patriotflier]

Now if we can just get rid of the scum bag W.H. in Scheduling!!!!! Things are looking up around this place......CT was the biggest slime bag in the industry not to mention the last 2 airlines prior to ASA both went under during his watch....I guess with him getting the boot we won't be the third!

Chief Pilots M.W. and C.S. are back to the line. They make a cute couple. It took two men and a small dog to pull C.S. head out of S.B. rectum. He then saw his shadow and we had six more weeks of C.T.

[EV120]

Don't mean to piss on everyones parade, as I am happy to see all of these folks leave.

Just remember, they may be leaving while they can, before we wither on the vine, much like Skip et al. did previously. Or maybe they left because they did not want to ride door to door, on a bike, and spreading the word for our new owners.

If the new folks in flight ops. can actually make some improvements and changes I'll begin to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[AV8700]

Who is LB and what was his position?

Funny post, but lets be fair. M.W. and C.S. are good guys who stuck up for quite a few pilots. In my experience they are honest men who were willing to fight on behalf of what is right ( or at least negotiate against ) the folks like C.T. and G.H.

Yes, C.S. and M.W. knew where their bread got its butter - but they used their positions to try to improve the operation and the outcome for line pilots.

Most of the non-ops people were given offers of Director postion with a cut in pay or the door. The same deal DB was given.

For the ops people, some of them didn't even see it coming.

Look at the "Information Services, Properties & Facilities" VP.

That's pretty funny.

Yes, C.S. and M.W. knew where their bread got its butter - but they used their positions to try to improve the operation and the outcome for line pilots in particular. If they have changed jobs, I do not know who would be left to balance out some of crazies still left in the G.O.

Yes, lets be fair. MW is know as the nazi in the GO (8th floor) and CS is know as the suck up. CS rolled over several times with the help of ND.

The reason for CS return to the line. He forgot the chain of command, he's ex Navy, when he was at the airport working for BL. He would go around BL to SB. He did it too many times and BL and CS had a blow out, major. Now that SB is gone CS has no one to help him. Not even the company lawyers like CS.

MW and CS may have "stuck up" for some pilots but their actions may have violated other pilots rights. A fair CP applies the contract fairly and equally to ALL pilots, not just a few.

These are just the facts of life here in the GO. Stay tuned, more changes this week.

That sounds like a big CF.

That is probably a good thing. From what I saw, CS was a peace maker. Instead of lawsuits, he could resolve things with an "aw shucks, we shouldn't have done that." A smile and a pat on the back saved ASA several law suits, perhaps dozens. CS also made ASA a better place to work. I would much rather have a friendly conversation with someone I could talk to than to fight a grievance.

The lawyers also know where their bread is buttered. Without C.T. and S.B. around the lawyers' best friend is Brian LeBreque - he signs their checks. If I were promoted to President Wednesday I would be their "bestest friend ever" by Thursday.

The more things are screwed up, the more evil, dishonest and combative management can be, the better the paychecks are over at Ford and Harrison. I forgot what movie this was from, but the lawyer was telling his client, "I love you, you are rich and you are always in trouble." How funny and how true.

 

["GO AROUND"]

Gross over Sched/Planning needs to go as well as Eva Holly.

 

[Texx]

MW is supposed to make the announcment today BD is leaving Salt Lake base CP to take SH's job. She said there are lots o changes a comin. Hopefully their replacements are for the better. GG over Sched/Planning needs to go as well.

Don't bet on it. To take MW's position, yes.

 

[Texx]

Talked with MJC in CP office this morning and MW is supposed to make the announcment today BD is leaving Salt Lake base CP to take SH's job. She said there are lots o changes a comin. Hopefully their replacements are for the better. GG over Sched/Planning needs to go as well.

MJC didn'y say this. She says it is BS!

 

[FL000]

I've dealt with MW many times over the last several years and have always been treated fairly. He's a no BS type of guy, and has his facts straight.

 

[FmrFreightDog]

Alphabet soup.....

Confuses the he11 out of me, and I even work here!
