No boxed water is the best part?

No no. It's the diabeetus. That's the best part.

Heard a SWA newhire class was supposed to have 40, only 11 showed up. These problems are spreading to everyone except the big 3.

You'd think they would try everything in their hands to retain pilots that they have

I think that jetBlue CEO (COO?) on the investor call was correct in their Q&A about pilots. He basically said that the industry is fundamentally changing and he thinks that pilot pay/compensation will get aligned up for all carriers.

Love rumors, thats the 5th time I've heard this rumor and those numbers have gone up every time. Waiting for class of 50 and 5 showed up next.

It was supposed to be 30 not 40.

It’s funny that you think management reads replies to their emails from the pilots…

it’s also funny that based off the 20-30 replies on alyeska that say people sent “my mec speaks for me” that a large percentage sent an email like that. I’d be willing to be less than 1 percent reply to those emails with that. The same 20-30 people constantly reply on that forum.. that’s like 3000 pilots that never say anything at all

Not strange at all......lets not forget that this was after private mediation was a disaster. This was the companies "olive branch" to extend to the pilot group in an attempt to gain trust. "see? we WANT to work with ALPA to get you guys the best contract (that aligns with our own values) you deserve....thats why we filed for mediation....."

Its all optics......I hope they finally start to realize that the phrase "My MEC Speaks For Me" isn't a computerized automatic reply.

It's also funny to me that by replying to emails with "My MEC speaks for me" those people are, in fact, not letting the MEC speak for them.

You know what will really show this company what's what though? Getting ALPA to spend our dues 3D printing a bunch of orange-colored plastic crap to hang our headsets on (who knew that was a problem that needed fixing!). That'll teach management a lesson they'll never forget!
