US Airways?

Back in the late 90's the quickest way to offend someone was to offer to help him get on at AWA.

Late 90's? I think this still holds true today. Not too many people dream to join AWA. Today it's WN, UPS, FDX, and possibly DAL and CAL.
You apply to AWA because you get turned down by WN.

I didn't mean to imply that it didn't still hold true. I only used the late 90s era because that was the last time I offended any of my friends in such a low down, crass manner, thats all.

I never got turned down by SWA, of course its kinda hard to get turned down there when you have never applied.

It was funny to listen to them babble on "well...but...you know....I'm shootin for.... already got my stuff in at.....blah blah blah." I couldn't help but think of Cousin Eddy of the Vacation movies explaining to Clark how his relative, unemployed for the last 6 years, was holding out for a management position.

Cousin Eddy is my hero!

You have 3000 hours and spew crud like this?

Wait until you've been through BK's, furloughs, mergers, job losses, cross country moves, a dozen jobs, etc...

Then come on here and tell us where we should apply and talk about being choosy.

 

[PHXFLYR]

I expect most will go to the east side of the operation.

Poor bassturds.

I'd rather work for Mesa.

Hi everyone,

All jokes aside, what does it take to get an interview with US. I know they have their problems, but so do all the other majors. It sounds better than being at the regionals another 35 years. I'm from NC so I'd really like to work at US and be based in CLT. I have my app in but haven't heard anything. I have 2 types, 7000tt, 2700tpic, no violations etc...

Get someone to do a LOR for you and come in with a good attitude. Don't pay any attention to the furloughs, they were LET GO from their previous carrier and expected to climb the ladder ahead of us who have been flying the line while they sat and watched!!

This too as well as them shall pass.

That is awfully crass considering these pilots that "sat and watched while you flew the line", were flying the line at the same airline while you were in grade school.
You got yours, there are thousands below you, why dont you cut them a break and quit sticking needles in their eyes.

Education time for FR8mastr. Young man I was born in the 60's so trust me when I tell you this if I were in grade school so were they!!! Know thy person prior to speaking or typing

Second I didn't stick a thing in their eyes they allowed their dumb azz mec to do that. We followed the rules and played their game now they seek to go in to overtime but the game is over.

Well judging by your flight time, they were flying prior to your entering the field.
And yes you are sticking needles. You know damn well how much losing any hope of a carreer means to a pilot. Give these poor bastards a break will you? You are correct, it is over so what is the point of rubbing it in? someday you will have to fly with some of these guys

 

[PositiveRate]

It is over, so WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING TO CHANGE THE RESULT.

The hypocrisy is overwhelming.


Pathetic that you feel you can call WD on rubbing it in given what the East is trying to do right now.

 

[Redmeat]

Maybe not. The east/west thing could all be moot. If United and Usairways merge when the big merger dance begins, both the east and the west pilots will be jerkin gear for a loooong time.

My personal opinion is, it is over. I think it is wrong, but over. rubbing it in to individuals is different from official MEC actions.

The only way some of you on the west will ever see the big picture of seniority is when we merge with Vigin or any other upstart. Then you will have a whole airline worth of Captains that have been flying for 1 or two years using the West argument about how it's all about career expectations and such. If you can tell me then how it is ok for these 2 year Captains to be senior to your 10-15 year captains, I'll eat my hat. In the meanwhile as pilots we just have to agree to disagree, let the MEC's fight it out and remember we have to fly together, so try and keep it civil.

 

[PositiveRate]

I'm always civil and professional when on duty. That will not change.

How about we agree that I'm right and you're wrong, though. Agreeing to disagree implies your position holds weight - it doesn't - it's a pathetic, childish attempt to cause direct harm to the West pilots. It has failed miserably at every stage and will continue to do so.

I will never apologize for getting a fair shake in the integration...no furloughed pilot deserved to be slotted above a junior West pilot.

I will never forget what you guys are trying to pull here...We are not rubbing it in. We are trying to move forward as one group.

Bytheway, the LOS with fences is DOH in disguise. It was an insulting proposal that clearly shows where the proverbial chip on the shoulder lays.

So lets see your idea of the high road is... Calling me a pathetic child with no idea of what is right and wrong. But that is ok because you did it prior to the trip we are flying together. But even though I am a pathetic child, you are willing to move foward as a group. Nice. Thank you for making my point. See you on line.

 

[PositiveRate]

This is so pointless.

I did not call you a pathetic child.

I said "it's (as in - the East position is) a pathetic, childish attempt to cause direct harm to the West pilots."

There's nothing low roadish about that comment...I believe much harsher words would be appropriate given what's transpired the past months.

And yes, even though the East is acting pathetic and childish and clearly see their West counterparts as inferior - WE (the West) do want to move forward as one group because we realize that together is the ONLY way out of this mess.

Typical drama and spin.

What is your current position with the company - returned or returning furloughee, CDL or active from before the merger?

And there you have it ladies a gentlemen.In just 5 very short posts between Positive Rate and FR8master you have just witnessed a perfect example of the average USAir pilots uncanny knack for creating "spin". These guys are master practioners of the art and I've never met a group of people more adept at it than them.I'm past the point of trusting or believing in anything that they say or do.What a sorry bunch of bitter old men.

[General Lee]

I think the East guys are a bunch of crybaby wheenies. You agreed to binding arbitration, and you LOST.

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[TWA Dude]

No, General, they didn't lose. They simply failed to gain what they'd hoped for. The arbitration was a tie.

PHX and Pos Rate,

I've known FR8 for 8 plus years now. I've flown with him, attended training with him, worked along side him in alpa, walked a picket line with him, been furloughed with him, aruged with him at times(both agreeing and disagreeing) and there is one thing I can say thu all that is he will never put a "spin" on anything.

Except this...................

Why? Does one's category provide some measure of mercy for one's level of childish behavior based upon age?

Ditto, I have over 3000 121 PIC and didn't want to work for WN. I made the mistake of aiming for Alaska and never even got a call. If I'd tried half as hard at WN I'd probably be working there. Stupid, stupid, ..............

No, no....you'd still be on your "third strike" with WN.

Is this or was this supposed to be a battle of the log books?? Any and I mean ANY of theses clowns feel like the have been wronged they have only themselves to blame. They have already sank the ship now they want to sink the life boat as well. They have gotton all the breaks they will ever get from me!:angryfire

You know what FR8mastr?We in the west have been on the high road for quite some time and all to no real benefit to our own pilots! I was not in favor of going to arbitration for the very simple fact is I place my future in the hands of a third party! Now as someone with DIRECT ties to this situation I can tell you first hand that the east mec never once wanted any before med/arb deals it was always DOH and they felt that they would get it.

Now this thing is over and we neeed to move on but I be damned if I vote to change this award one bit, just aint gonna happen!! So my suggestion to you is have your boys PHL C41 do their usual and try an have me removed from office cause I just ain't budging on that issue!!!
