For general dissemination for others interested in JB, I strongly suspect the floodgates are about to open here. Our hated Director of Flight Operations Resources, a former USAir PIT ALPA rep whom is now a complete management stoolie, has fired the warning shot across the bow that management feels our current pay review process is unsustainable given all the "massive" industry changes since it was agreed to 3 whole years ago. I was particularly interested in management's stated desire to stop using other "Destination Carriers" as a metric for our compensation.

If Delta, Hawaiian , Alaska, Unical, and others truly begin hiring enmasse, there will almost certainly be a mass exodus from the bottom 50 percent here. No voters, my family and I thank you. In the meantime, how many cabins do I clean, single-engine taxis do I advocate Captains perform, or stand-up PAs do I do? "None whatsoever".
AE, you are obviously a good man and make some valid points but I think these guys swimming in our pool will be happy to hear this news! In fact, I have two friends from Comair in the pool now who can't wait to escape that sinking ship and fly for JB. Sometimes we just need to put things in perspective to realize that we don't have it so bad. As much as I agree with some of your frustrations, I will continue to take the high road and clean cabins, do stand-up PAs and not start #2 until necessary, but hey, I won't hate on those who don't want to play along. Have a good weekend.

War Eagle!
