Get it????

No, but I think your Load Control Valve broken in the closed position and your irritable bowel syndrome, just flew out of your mouth.

Oh you you dint! Stupid is as Stupid does!

Just read your long rant. How many drinks did you have before puking that one up? Lay off the Zima.

I was under the impression ExpressJet was in there replacing TSA's flying...who has furloughed hundreds of pilots. Forgive me.

As far as your paycheck. Give it time, you'll take one soon enough and that "Industry Leading" contract will be just like all the other Industry Leading contracts out there. Ask those Comair guys how they're doing.

So...


How is life as a moron?

Now go read your unemployment notice again from Mesa, and just remember the day YOU thought it was worth working there.....or ran out of options. ahem ahem.

Well, I was under the impression that TSA and your Mesa replaced my job at Atlantic Coast Airlines. What goes around comes around.
But you can also say ACA replaced United Mainline in ORD with the introduction of the RJ.
I was just sitting in a United Express painted XJT airplane the other day in shy-town where I spent a few years in the early 00's doing the same flying but in a CRJ. I started to think, wow I have come full circle now. But in reality its not a circle it's an industry wide death spiral. That being said our "industry leading contract" here at XJT is nothing like comair or ACA's contracts were. So I don't see our contract being a huge liabilty to us in a time of crisis.

You can blame Trans States Holdings and G0Jets for the furloughing of T.S.A. pilots not ExpressJet. This board is silly, ALPA is silly, and I am certain that we have furloughed pilots due to changes in our contracts with our mainline carriers . Just what's the chip on your shoulder ? Last time I checked we are operating a 50 seat jet at 70+ seat rates. Can you explain how we've lowered the bar in the United ORD operation ?

Listen, I was being sincere and apologizing for the state I first made. So you call a man who admits his mistakes a Moron? Real nice.
What you need is a reality check. When was the last time you spoke with God? When was the last time you embraced the Lord? I can tell it's been a long long time, because your behavior proves that you do not love yourself. In order to love others, you must love thy self and the Lord. Go to church this weekend.

Hang on, I'll continue this later. But I'm on the phone long distance to Munich, talking to Adolf in the BMW parts department. Seeing if he can send me a new leather gripped steering wheel.

Hi!

Stinker: How does Coex compare with TSA? I am curious, as I was at TSA.

Cliff,
I enjoyed working with my fellow pilots at TSA they were a great group of guys/gals. Glad to be gone though, as for the comparisons I can't really draw any aside from an Embraer 145 is an Embraer 145. MX, MGMT, Pay, and FLTOPS are much better here as they are most any place when compared to TSA. I wish all of my TSA brethren the best when it comes to ensuring their jobs are preserved. I still have many friends there and I know the struggles they face.

Amen brother...

 

[BrickTop]

As former XJT pilot and remembering what an industry leading regional they once were I regret to say welcome to Mesa Airlines...generation Z

 

[thowe21]

Do you guys remember how mad express jet pilots were when another regional took "their" continental express flying? Just saying....

 

[BigLebowski]

You'll have plenty of time to drink that beer. When Mesa's MEC goes ta-ta's up and gives up everything in their contract and pay, they will be the fastest growing regional again......putting you out of a job. Every airline in BK, their pilot group surrenders everything to do what it takes to survive.

Same playing field? When you replace another carriers flying, why is it not considered "SCAB work"? Essentially, you have put guys on the street because you do the job for cheaper or what ever reason.

Very well said. This job "not profession" is a joke.

 

[BigLebowski]

It doesnt matter where the "new" jobs are coming from..... c'mon Wayback.... you have to know this by now.

The point about Mesa coming out of BK being the cheapest to use as feed is a great point...... then they can "steal" the flying from XJT..... mark my words, the XJT kids will be crying bloody murder in a few years if this UA flying goes away..... because it was "their" flying and its being "stolen"!!

haha...I remember reading similar posts about 4 years ago. I was at TSA; I was called "bottom feeder" because TSA was bidding on the CAL Express routes.

I guess we all should be happy though...as one company grows; another shrinks, more people are out of work while others make a little more from short staffing.

This whole situation is rediculous. Maybe "us" as pilots should stand together and get the whole "pay" situation worked out. This whole regional FO being on Food stamps thing is a disgrace, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

To everybody that b*tches, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Mainline pilots think we're pathetic...and they're right. To make 80K as an rj Captain when 15 years ago, a Captain flying the same route made 170K is a joke. Yet everyone is on here beating they're chest "I make more than a Mesa pilot" good for you...go tell that to the Airbus Captain then next time you ask for a ride. His look will not only be of disguist but hatred as well...and I don't blame them.

The only pathetic thing is when the mainline guys voted away scope that allowed this to happen. The economics of air travel are vastly different from 15 years ago, passengers are not willing to pay 1995 prices for tickets.
