Ok then, let's sign inn for PBS also. You will have less chance for a commutable line. You should had took a loan and go to Compass. If you lost 20 hrs TTOT, that means you can't sustain your family in CA by your own. While I'm basically the provider for my family.
Don't worry about my retirement. I'm doing all the correct steps towards it. Still have 38 more years before I can go and I will not make the JR guys go into a B scale.
We are the ones that have to make a change. This is the time for a change! I rather be in this situation now, than leave it to the guys coming behind us. I would not like to be in this situation if I have to pay more than 15k in a ATP. Let's make it worth, let's top whining, complaining and let's make this industry better. AA posted record profits! We are not the ones that have to keep giving them money.
The only way to move forward is get yourself out there and try to go somewhere else. That's what I'm doing and hope it will pay off. If I ever get hired somewhere, I will never come back into a AAG airline.
Listen to me, USAirways management will finish this company. They are converting it into a LCC. It's not a legacy anymore and I don't want to be part of if.
Pilots do not have the power to end the regional model or change it in any way shape or form. We are contract labor, what is so hard to understand about that? Yes we have a skill, most of is have some sort of education, but we're still just labor, I've never seen a group of people with such an inflated sense of self in all my life.
I'm absolutely voting no on PBS, there is no gain there, only loss. I voted no to the bk deal as well, the only reason I voted yes to the AIP is because the trade off worked well for me.
I do agree with you about AAG, APA and the other unions made a big mistake selling that merger to the creditors.
APA and other unions are about to have a eye opener.
Another reason why we are in this point. Negotiations starts soon in their side, they can't look weak over a larger group of people.
Specially APA, they are some hard core players.
