Wave:No- I don't blame United pilots for bush's NMB or his ATSB- I blame the ones who voted for him and his capitalist rhetoric even when he clearly used his govt position to try and pick winners-
UAL is one example- what's the percentage of DAL departures done by those not on your seniority list.
Try watching something other than msnbc for a change!
Your boy Barry is a 1 term pres, if he even makes it that far. How you can call Bush policies capitalist is just more gas for the fire that makes you stupid. But not unexpected from someone who bought his job.
keep up the good work, your stupidity just adds for more entertainment on this worthless site.
Well- at least you admit it.
The problem is that RJs have grown so big now you can't call that a stepping stone. Why not outsource everything smaller than a 757? Where does it stop.
You're equating capitalism and downward pressure from a competitor bs the complete disenfranchisement of HALF of ALPA pilots...
Wow.
So, your excellent hedge position, charging nothing for tickets, and making you buy your job had nothing to do with it?
You're right....WOW! Ignorance is bliss You are absolutely the biggest dumbass to ever type on this site.
Your airline cherry picks its cities. I don't see your airline at every major city in the US. What changed southwests model? You only used to go to cities like OAK, and PVD avoiding PHL and LGA. Now you're there and crying that you're not allowed more slots in those cities. Boo friggin Hoo!:crying:
I put it on ALPA pilots bc they are the ones who had to sign off on it- and they are the only pilots who have the power to kick the camel out of the tent.
So who do you blame for the whole pay for training? Who do you blame for age 65? Who do you blame for lousy pay and benefits? Look no further than the mirror.
Do you not see how little power the express pilot has in the situation?
Do you understand how keeping the rj drivers off your seniority list puts MORE downward pressure on your wages?
I don't have a hard on - I have a desire to help you UNDERSTAND what you are doing to yourself- and how much worse the effect is for everyone else.
It doesn't seem like you get it.
No, much like a neutered dog, YOU don't get it. Prior to 9/11 your airline was last on most people's lists. Weren't you yourself working for a supposed legacy? And the difference, good management, and a trip to bankruptcy for most of the legacy's.
And it doesn't seem like you have much integrity since all you offer is selfish excuses-
you stayed flying while Delta furloughed your junior guys- and outsourced their jobs. You SAY it was a mistake to let one jet off the property- but with no BK gun to your head in 2006- your group voted to allow 90 seaters.
You have no right to lecture me- I chose to work for the company with the highest paid domestic pilots in the country- the one who never in it's history has outsourced flying-
You also work for the only airline that requires you to pay for your training! No other airline does that. You also work for an airline that sold out its junior guys by supporting age 65. You guys were the catalyst for it, and yet, as a junior guy, who's teetering on a furlough this fall, with no official announcements for growth, you sit there and lecture legacy pilots. WIthout downward pressure from ********************hole companies like yours there wouldn't have been any pressure for lousy wages like you brag you make!
if WN does go that route- I'll have choices to make- I hope I can operate with more integrity than you guys have-
You can always go work for gulfstream international, since you have the whole pay for training thing nailed!
unions don't work w/o unity and there can be none as long as so many seniority lists fly for the same company.
Don't ever lecture anyone about unity. Your senior guys sold you junior guys down the river....I'm just wondering why you're willing to keep your knee pads shined to keep them satisfied!
