To be clear nothing would make me happier than burning this hole down to the ground. Even if it meant I had to look for another job. This place is so awful I wouldn’t mind starting at the bottom of the list someplace else even a regional. Also, it would give me great joy to see OTZ Eagle lose his pension.

Ah Ma-am…. Their is nothing you can do to affect my pension. The Federal government and a bankruptcy judge would be the only ones that might. The laws have changed though…just ask DP and AMR. Pretty sure that thing is going to pay out when I go. No worries though. Thanks for your concern.

I’ve never touched the controls of a bus. Have met some VX pilots that I like and I’m glad they are here.

Hopefully with their help we either run this hole into the ground or we get a new contract with scope.

Continuing with this status quo isn’t something I’d care to do for the next 20 something years.

Personally I find captains that ask me why I wouldn’t just want to do this job for free more offensive than my last post. But our priorities are probably quite different.

He's a new guy, post merger. I don't know what the second part means. I'm not commenting about the employer itself.

I'm saying you have a history of talking trash about your former coworkers, to the point where you had to do a carpet dance for chronically trolling the Pinnacle forums after you moved on.
Some things don't change.

I have not trash talked any VX coworker. And what carpet dance? I don’t recall any. Why would mgt care about a regional forum?

I didn’t take his post as VX versus AS. Hell, he isn’t even VX, he’s SkyWest. The undeniable truth is that legacy AS pilots are responsible for the mess we are all in. The contract, work rules, scope, or lack there of, is the work of the legacy pilot group. It is what it is, but to deny that reality would be plain silly. But we are all under one roof now, and it’s time to get what we deserve. Most of the legacy side is ready, energized and poised to do what’s necessary to get what we all deserve. The past is done, it’s time to right history now together as one group which is exactly what we are. There is no more VX, it’s dead and gone. We are all AS and it’s time to be treated like a real airline.

True, but keep in mind we brought no CBA to the mix. I don't see the point in looking at the past with what was and what got us here. Looking now and into the future, you nailed it with this:

+1 well written, couldn't have said it better.

Why don't you take your meds and put down the booze before posting $hit like this on a public forum. I don't know OTZ and I don't care for most of his gibberish but your post is divisive and downright hostile. Allow me give you bit of advice young Jedi. It's not that difficult to find out who anyone is on these forums. People have been terminated for posting unwarranted things on web boards.

Not directed at anyone specifically, but I think we need to lower the temp a bit in this thread as clearly it is ratcheting up..

Effective debaters can land solid punches without having to resort to insults and personal attacks.

How about a distraction then - was anything useful mentioned in the all pilot teams call yesterday? I’m assuming not since people didn’t come running to APC to post anything, but maybe some new news that might interest new hires or people interviewing/applying?
