A revolving door of people will continue to come here and go to UPS. How about we make something for them to stay? How about that additional revenue be something that can bump up our abysmal retirement across the board? I'm only interested in the DOD flying personally. We did vacations Hawaii for example with a Vegas base. I wasn't interested in it either but some people were all about it. Surely something can be worked out.
The company had already agreed to company travel for VH pilots then the program cancelled.......
Nope, no jumpseating & crashpads; that dog don't hunt. That's a foot in the door that should not be opened. If they want Fedex/UPS style flying, apply there.
Look, they applied for this cargo contract bid with our CURRENT labor contract. They would not have applied if it were not profitable. They need to stop looking at employee wage/compensation/benefits cuts as a means to increase profits. It's already profitable or they wouldn't have bid it.
NO, to domicile basing. It's as simple as that.
Finally, we should stop discussing this on a public BBS. I know from personal experience dealing with Ford & Harrison that they DO monitor this stuff, they do have accounts on here, and they will toss stuff out just to get a gauge on stuff. DO NOT PLAY THEIR GAME
My unon speaks for me !
