XJT flying for United

[viper548]

Yeah, it always has been and the 34% knew it the whole time. Now that we're overstaffed and there's no JR man trips, reserve on your day off or deadheads to pick up open time the rest of the pilots are starting to realize that the pay rate means more than they thought it did.

So true Viper, I agree 110%, very frustrating!

Simply put, there is a lot more to cost than just pilot salaries......

the hell you say!!!!!!!!!!!!

XJT: the Avis of airlines. There is no reason at all to think that it must be ASA that gets the flying. Why won't other carriers bid on it? XJT could always get more UAL flying, but so could Pinnacle, Republic, AWAC, or even Gojet/Trans States. Alright, probably not AWAC, but I fail to see anything definitive for anyone one or two carriers to assume that flying.

Are you suggesting that XJT will Not be flying for UAL?

 

[Cpt Oveur]

long term? it sounds as though the deal is 3 airplanes for 17 days, no? not really sustainable, you agree?

 

[B727FA]

Mesa is pulling out of IAD and losing all the UAL flying.

Again?

Doesn't that make United the best FO in the world? I'll take the fat one Cap! Good job numba 2...

LOL!

Why not AWAC? Mesa was fired and rehired by UAL. AWAC could always get back in the mix. You never know with the Sybills that run United.

 

[Rekks Inbound]

Exactly. Why not AWAC? We weren't let go from UAL for lack of performance, we were let go because our owners/management had no foresight and didn't want to get into the 70 seat market. But with recent developements here at AWAC, there now might be a change of heart. (OK, probably not, but a guy can dream, can't he! ).

Peace.

Doesn't Air Willy still own part of US Air?

Imagine you are asked who you fly for, and you told them ALPA, I am an ALPA pilots who does lift for such and such holding company.


Now imagine the ability to move across holding company lines with your date of hire and seat position.

Seems like Jazz and the Canadians did just that..

Wow what a concept, instead of fighting amongst ourselves we actually take to task these desk jockeys that think zero wind and 1 g, is a stressful work place.
