USAPA's Illegal Job Action Causing Pilot Terminations.

[Metrojet]

Straight from Lyle Hogg today.

Fire ALL of them.

WOW - Lyle called you directly and told this to you? You have more connections than I thought - I am impressed.

Any info on LOA 93?
DFR 2?
Merger?
Contract?

And last but not least - Is Judge Silver going to order the NIc to be implemented?

That's quite a union when their big news is pilots being fired. At least ALPA/ SWAPA /APA protects it's membership from being fired arbitrarily.
Somehow I don't think USAPA does a very good job of protecting ALL it's members!

If there are any firings it will be temporary and they will get their jobs back, probably with back pay too.

You guys out west make sure to pay your dues for their legal fund.

Actually I think we need more union pin wearing whackos that just say no. Airline management has gotten away with too much for too long.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight ,
that way there could be more union pin wearing wackos in the unemployment line repeating the "big lie" to each other.

What a miserable F#%&@*@ing place to work.

What is the big deal with on line/at home learning? Just crack a cold one, left click through the stuff and take a test at the end. Then collect four hours of flight pay.

Big whoop.

 

[charlie2]

We get paid for that?

 

[mesaserf]

At Mesa we do.

I don't think EAST pilots get paid to do their distance learning. They shouldn't. Their worthless, Angry, bitter old men.

F' em. Parker needs to adopt a scorched Earth program and gut those East POS.

So I'm guessing you don't want to go out for a beer with me later?

 

[charlie2]

I'm buying.

Yeah, right. Cleary will get them a raise, too.

Sorry, you have USAPA confused with a union that has the influence to get someone's job back. Instead, the only way those guys will return to work is with MAJOR concessions at the negotiating table.

Aren't you glad you put such smart guys in charge?

and just to prove anything can happen in this business Piedmont, which merged into USAir, used to have as good employee relations as SWA does now and they were one of the financially strongest airlines around.

I meant some of our Captains! Our FA's are way older. When I list to get to work sometimes I see a hire date of 1964...ya...1964.
