Virgin America Launches New Service to Dallas-Fort Worth

[LoveGun]

Hyflyin,

I'm on your side, but don't knock his killer avatar. The Bill Lumberg sex scene is probably the funniest scene in cinema history.

 

[hyflyin]

Competition is needed?? Why so you can still undercut the industry with your pathetic wages and work rules all in the name of the consumer.....spare me the lecture. You think the AA pilots want to just let you "help out"?? You are kidding me....please tell your stories of assistance on their jumpseat if you had a pair between your legs.....

Nobody brought your sexual orientation up SFO queen.....I know my avatar offends you with the outwardly hetero sex.......

My wages are going up yearly (now), save your non-snese for the morons who gave it all back years ago. When is the last time you stood any ground? I rode one company in the dirt buy not giving up a thing (paid Alpo for 10 yrs), and furloughed by another for the same reason. Being the type of individual you are, I doubt you have ever taken a stand for anything and chastising on a public board doesn't count, no personal loss involved.

Live with the competition jack*ss, I no problem putting fools like you back on the street where you belong. Unfortunately, innocent people get hurt by it, but its not personal, just business. And since I am pro business, because they provide plenty for my family, I have no problem with competition.

Kisses big boy!!! LOL

Wow, they sure hire class act folks there at VA.

Yeah and at: AA, Delta, SWA, Jblu, Airtran, fill in the blank.... save the judgement. Please feel free to never ride our jump seat either.

If you have ever worked at a regional or something that paid as little, look in the mirror. I did not and its cost me much "falling on my sword" for higher pay, "holding the bar". I am not asking for your sympathy either, it was my decision, my actions, my misfortune. But I have job I love now that is working for me. Unfortunately, your belief that we are some how in this together is misguided, we are not, as many before me have proven. So I will not be falling anymore on the proverbial sword. Sorry, thats life and the only people I need to support now are my co-workers. If we decide as a group to seek something we will do it. Worry about your own companies and we will worry about ours.

Cheers, I'm out of this convo. Trying to solve the problems of the industry on an anonymous web board is lame. I stated my .02 and thats all that matters. Good luck with your careers.

Like VA could even run their operation if it weren't for the access to a union jumpseat both in front and back of the plane courtesy of UAL and AA... I bet you jump on them every day you go to work.....

I'm sure the 3 UAL jumpers I saw on the flight from SEA to SFO on Sunday are loving you propagating a jumpseat war. We carry a bunch of OAL jumpers. And, yes we ride on their seats as well. You see that's how it works. why don't you just let the head shed biggies pull the strategy stuff.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Jumpseats aren't a political pawn when needing a ride.....everybody gets to ride, we are just screwing ourselves.

My challenge to the VA toolbag was to see if his nutsack was screwed on tight enough to bring up his spewed out "how about AA letting us fly....." BS ON an AA Jumpseat.....probably not gonna happen!

Thanks!!

And if you aren't doing her "man" style....then you aint a man!!!

 

[Speedtape]

Delta will be getting in on the action, too! Anybody remember Airtran's assault on AA with their short lived DFW to the West Coast a few years ago?

 

[relief tube]

Well thankfully the good people of The Bay Area, LA, and The Metroplex will be freed from the yoke of crippling air fares! Thanks for the capacity dump Sir Richard...

********************ty payscales get more flying. go figure. They say DFW is a fortress, but it sure is easy to break through the gates when your pilots salaries subsidize the company

You can say what you want, but there is not one carrier out there that can compare to the service you receive on VA! Your 80 yr old "Isle Donkey's" can't keep up with the Excellent service provided on VA. We only need a small percentage of the people in DFW and we will get it! We have been killing AK up and down the west coast, how many times have I heard the same thing over and over....AK has lost my business....I am sure it will be just the same with AA.

YAWN....keep moving...nothing to see here......just another pilot crying in his cheerios.....

 

[RNP.15]

I guess that's why Alaska's made record profits in this economy. Because your killing them up and down the west coast. Give me a break.

It sure does, worked for SWA and Jblu. Right? Sorry, not a start up out there where the initial employees did not invest in the company only to be rewarded at a later date.

I will sincerely apologize if you can prove me otherwise.

:beer:

You mean the one where fuel is steady and holding, more people are flying and they gave money back in the form of concessions in 05 that they still have not "taken back" (at least not all of it). Is that the bad economy your talking about?? Give me a break!!

We'll see...as our route structure grows and we take on more cities, your loads will continue to dwindle, so enjoy your short celebration.

Plus, where is your answer to hyflyin...oh, that's right...HE IS RIGHT! Nice profits.

Reality check:

According to AirlinePilotCentral, a 4 year FO at Alaska base pay is $200 a month less than your #1 Captain (assuming he was at 4 year pay). Of course the FO has a pension, stock purchase plan, profit sharing and makes more per diem.........And that's AFTER the concessions.
Oh and the company is making money.

I guess they don't get to fly the space shuttle though........When are classes for that starting? Is it going to be the same pay rate to take people into SPACE?

Well, in 4 yrs things have gotten better for us and I know that they will continue to get better. We are not there yet, but we will be. The upside to all of that...people here are HAPPY and people there are miserable! Thanks, I'll take a happier work environment, oh and the left seat far sooner than anyone over there. But that's just me. Evidently I am not the only one seeing how we have about 12,000apps of guys trying to get on here at VA. Have a nice day.

Space flight will be HAZZARD Pay, and it will be quite hefty. Coming back to the line will certainly be boring though after all that...See you in ANC.
