UAL MEC tough stance on Scope---keep it up!

[JoeMerchant]

And they can take it back, then it's their job.

Go for it...but don't ask me for support....

I've made a good living out of flying the big boys were too good to fly...Expect a fight, not support, to try and take it back....

 

[Benjamin Dover]

You make me laugh GL - often. "Keep it up" right - just like Delta hung tough on Scope? I know you are busy drinking $10 beers in Europe, but if you haven't noticed, weak ass Scope put hundreds of your brothers on the street while ASA and CMR cruised. Now all those used to be mainline cities are still RJs. Delta's domestic product largely sucks now and you can thank Scope for that.

Keep it up

That sounds eerily like a scab mentality... "That contract (airplane/flying) wasn't good enough for you??? Well, while you strike, I'll just slip into your spot and do it for less."

You've all but said that you would fly struck work if it comes to that at United. I'm sure the folks over at the new United will have a special place in their hearts for you.

To the United/Continental pilots, please don't judge all of us at the regionals as if we all think like Joe Merchant. Some of us DO get it and want to eventually have a better life at mainline someday.

Yuppyidiot....Most of us are well past our teens. Wendy and the rest of you are picking a fight you don't want to pick. ASA didn't land on taxiway Mike. ASA didn't fly 150 miles past MSP.

Wendy's comments here:

What Ms. Stevens failed to mention in her letter to the passenger is that United Airlines, when booking an unwitting passenger on a United Express flight, is misleading the very loyal and trusting customers who expect to be flown to their destinations by an industry-leading professional crew flown by United pilots on a United mainline aircraft.

These comments are out of line. UAX pilots are just as "industry-leading professional crews"...United doesn't really want to pick this fight considering their hiring practices of the past. The damn near took out Mt. Bruno with a 747 with an engine failure.

ALPA still doesn't get it...They keep picking fights within their own ranks...I don't think there is any hope for ALPA....

Joe,

Alpa needs to break off into two parts, one for Majors or Legacies, and the other for Regionals, so there is no perceived conflict of interest. Regardless, I hope you enjoy flying your Beech 1900 or Bandirante eventually.


Bye Bye--General Lee

The United MEC Chairman just said I'm not as good and not as professional....Sorry, but they can kiss my @$$...they created this mess and I'm certainly not going to pay for their mistakes....Blindly follow ALPA if you want, but don't ask me to walk of the cliff with you...

Try just for once not being a lemming......

I will tell you this much as a CAL pilot I never gave up scope and do not intend to. I will not vote to relax our scope section period!! If you expect to fly a jet over 50 seats come to mainline. You made your decision to be a lifer in the Regionals, that is fine you knew the type of flying that entailed, we all did.

You fly struck work, You are a SCAB!! You always will be. I fly with a lot of them at CAL. Some are nice, I even talk to them, I respect none of them. I know you do not care if I respect you or not, but know this. When other pilots talk of you the first thing that will come up is that you are a scab, for the rest of your life, and even after you have passed.

Your former MEC Chairman is a scab....ALPA doesn't care....

Benny,

I guess a BK judge had NOTHING to do with any loss of Scope, right? And, many 50 seaters are taking care of themselves right now, just going off to the desert. 22 Freedom ERJs were just parked, and many ex-RJ routes are now back to mainline (like ATL--GRR, and ATL--FNT) And, that domestic product gets better every day, and is ten times better than your Cattle Car at SWA. Ever seen a liveTV (Dish Network) in any of your seats? Probably not. But hey, you don't charge for bags! (and don't reap the profits either) Just think, if you did, you could use more money to make better TV Commercials. You really need to.

You have the right attitude. Good for you.

Back in my day Joe I applied to USAIR, TWA, AMERICAN, DELTA, UPS, NORTHWEST, FEDEX, SOUTHWEST and UNITED. I did this so I wouldn't have to be stuck in a lawn dart the rest of my life. Oh and by the way Joe the training at the majors is superior to that at the regionals HANDS DOWN. Now if I was you I would suck it up, get out the resume and get ready for the hiring boom here in about 3 years. It was nice of you to bring up the UAL 747 incident too. Like I said earlier you teenagers will not be flying our routes too much longer.
