XJET CR2 pilots must rebid!

[Abernathy]

First of all, I didn't vote for that poor excuse of a president "Obama"!!

So then you voted for the guy who called airline pilots "greedy" and likened UAL pilots efforts to get a new contract with being "unpatriotic"?

Yeah, this guy , who bitched about UAL pilots refusing overtime during negotiations. Since when the F*** is OVERTIME something the American worker is forced to accept?

You guys really are a funny bunch.

It should be pointed out that TWA ended up not being an economically viable entity, and those pilots who won that battle lost the war.

And if you're foolish enough to believe that the pilots having 100% control over PBS was the nail in the coffin that led to TWA's demise, I don't know what to tell you. They were done LONG before it even happened.

Pilot costs are not what takes an airline down, reducing pilots costs isn't what makes a company economically viable.

They took the popcorn machine out of the crew lounge to save money.

They are looking for every penny

I think pilot costs might be a consideration

But yet they continue to pay bottom dollar to schedulers (you get what you pay for) and accept the HUGE inefficiencies that result.

I'll believe the company is doing everything possible to save money when crew utilization gets the attention it deserves. Until then, the cost of popcorn machines and the like are just drops in a bucket...

Aah, the old popcorn machine trick. Removing it does absolutely nothing for the company's bottom line but it gets the pilots talking.

It's not a consideration at all! Once they stop handing out free food on holidays, turkey coupons, perfect attendance prizes, mini Indy, anniversary gifts, and the cost to administer all stars and all of these programs, then I MIGHT consider it. Why is this so hard to understand for some of the CRJ people?

PBS is dead at XJet.

Speak for yourself. I love PBS.

ASA driver, I do too. The problem in my humble opimion with it is across the board day for day and dollar for dollar (and not necessarily in your case) is that the company has to much much control over the pairings and can be to liberal with their use of the window. Everything they are doing is contractual, however there is a huge difference between doing what is right and doing just what you have to legally. These clowns don't understand that. There is no telling how many sick calls, fatigue calls, misc call outs, and scheduling issues the company has caused themselves because of the way they do the scheduling here....
