TSA furloughed pilots

[ALIMBO]

I am on neither side before I say anything but, what is a person to do not work? He left before all this crap went down if it was after the fact I would call scab, but its not. He simply decided to work for a different company. To those who may lose their jobs, and I know one F/O personally working for TSA it sucks and I can only imagine how you feel, but you knew how this industry was before you got hired and you probably should have expected this to happen at least once in your career. Nothing in life is set in stone except the day you die.

He knowingly and willfully screwed over his fellow pilots in order to get ahead. He climbed over their backs to indulge management.

end of story.

First off..you don't spell losing "loosing". Second, I'm not throwing 5th grader insults at anyone. The fact is each and every TSA pilot had the opportunity to come over WITH longevity. I didn't stab anyone in the back coming here and by the way TSA pilots act (like 5th graders) I treat them accordingly. They always talk about GoJet pilots "sneaking" on flights to go home etc..Well, I have caught many TSA pilots doing just that as well. Funny how they hate me until they need a ride home.
I don't wish being furloughed on anyone. But, don't come on here blaming the GoJet pilot group for something that AA has done to TSA. We (GoJet) only have one code share and it's NOT AA. So, blow it out your back side. I'm glad that you moved on. Anyone that works for TSH or HAS worked for TSH and moves on to bigger and better things I feel is great. Don't try to pin this furlough crap on us. Now, back to the sandbox

O.K. thanks for the spelling tip.

You prove my point with every post you make. You have no class. TSA pilots are getting furloughed and you are as happy as a clam. If you had an ounce of courtesy you wouldn't even try to defend what TSH did and pipe in on threads like this. Other pilots are trying to help out with interviews and info about airlines hiring and the nicest thing you can say is that we all had the chance to get hired by GoJet with longevity? It should have been one list from the start. The more you post the more I can smell a herd of goats in august, that seems to be were you are the happiest.

Sorry BrokeBack, what you do on your overnights with the male FA's is your business but I like the female persuasion.

Ask your m...

never mind!

I've said it before I'll say it again, why are you so obsessed with these school-age references? I just don't get it. Karma's a bitch, and you come on here and start insulting TSA pilots who are getting furloughed...you'll get yours eventually. Just keep walking around with your head low and your badge turned around...pathetic POS.

Here's day 5 with NO message from ALPA or the company at least acknowledging that there WAS a Furlough...

How long do you think it's going to be before I get really pissed off?

I actually did get a furlough letter from TSA on Friday.

How pissed are you going to be when you find that they furloughed not because they needed to but they wanted to. And by the way, what is alpa going to do for you especially under probation, the least they could do is negotiate travel benefits...... the planes are going to be empty this year anyways right?

Oh yeah I totally forgot about the desire to furlough...how many LOAs did they deny?

I know I dont have much coming my way since I'm a probie and really to be honest if I was one of those on the street I wouldnt really need it...desk job time. The thing I'm pissed about is the lack of acknowledgement. I mean isnt it their job to be on top of this kind of thing? I mean at least say something to the likes of; "Hey yo! We know what's going on and we be workin' on it!"

Ugh...off the record my left nut, the smaller of the two, could run an airline better...

Yeap, we'll see what happens next week. There's still 2 weeks left till we're kicked out. I'm not holding my breath but it ain't over till it's over. I really doubt this furlough will take long, they said up to a year but judging from what they told us when we interviewed for the job, they can't even predict what's going to happen in a few months.

 

[nwa_contrails]

They have no idea! They've canceled a few flights and are trying to junior captains left and right. Can't even imagine what's gonna happen when we're 45 short...and exactly! TONS of LOAs were denied which is why none of this makes a lick of sense.

B I got a job for you if you want to come up north 22 an hour flying 7 days a week if you wish. Possible upgrade to bigger equipment if you stay long enough. Let me know.

Saluki,

The new VARS will be out soon. I think there were some things included in it that needed clearance from ALPA Legal before they could be posted. If you need information about the immediately, you can always contact your rep.

If I were you, I wouldn't expect much information from the company other than a furlough letter. The last time they furloughed, I don't think that they made a big announcement.

Hey man! Thanks! I totally didnt think about the legal thing until you said it. Really I'm just frustrated about a lot of stuff right now! :angryfire

Yeah, I'm learning more and more about the company every day...as long as I can keep being overly happy on the radio maybe I can brighten up some of the other waterskiiers out there. I think I might have just ranted...

Thanks again man!
