Anybody wanna take a guess on when VA will cease operations?
Yesterdays news reads that the US shareholders are out yet still on the board filling a seat. Alaska is claiming the board members have no fiduciary value to the airline and Virgin Group is in violation of ownership regulations.
Is anybody familiar with the enforcement code on this? How long does VA have to get investors to occupy those board seats? Is there performance required? How long can Branson play games searching for new investors to sit at the table?
I'll take that as you don't have any.nevermind

Question #2: What are your vacation and sick time accrual rates and maximums?
Read the DOT show cause order granting the certificate. The recall rights and redemption process were spelled out in advance.
That wasn't in response to you. Our standard daily rig is the greater of what you work, where scheduled to work, or 3.5 hours. We get 125% over 82 hours or when offered by scheduling.
Vacation is essentially 1 week of vacation for every year with the company.
We have unlimited sick time.
One Trick Pony Just Wanted To Say Hi
I wonder what Southwest paid their employees/pilots when they started 25 years ago and where a crappy outfit with a couple of old planes. Now they are a respectable airline with great work rules.I just do not understand why a 1.5 year old airline is compared to companies that are around for years and have gone through several contract negotiations to get where they are now....
I hope VA survives, have flown on them several times and they are the best. can't stand the other carriers with old equipment and employees with sh$tty attitudes, oh wait the all work for excellent wages and workrules, not....

I find it very interesting that in the linked SF Chronicle article above that Cush was quoted saying that (and I paraphrase) look, we are still 75% controlled by Americans that hasn't changed. What he pointedly left out was the fact that there are two requirements. You have to be 75% controlled by Americans and 51% owned by Americans. Why didn't he say that they were still 51% owned by Americans? Because they aren't.
LOL...never mind...it's still going strong.
Maybe this interview will answer a few questions:

What I don't get is that ALK management is making their case based on a newspaper article. Any idea of what their response will be if/when the DOT rules that there is no issue?

By that you mean still losing investor money?
Huh?
