Looks like someone else is unhappy with Merlot, they are suing for breach of contract and misrepresentation

Island Air sues New Zealand-based airline software company for breach of contract - Pacific Business News

 

"According to its website, Merlot Aero has customers around the world, and some of its customers include Air Asia, Allegiant Air, Canadian North Inc., Merpati in Indonesia, Regional Express in Australia, HK Express in Hong Kong, and FlyAfrica."

Allegiant is in such good company!

 

The difference is that Island Air was smart enough to abandon this POS software. Allegiant will keep kicking this can down the road....

 

So sad. Management isn't happy with merlot either. Its too good. They are looking for something worse.

 

Now that's some funny stuff right there.

 

So I listened to the investor replay and 2 things stood out to me.

1) $25m hit due to not enough crews and having to use sub-service. Who ever stated sub-service hurts wasn't kidding.

2) Maury thinks contracts with dispatchers, FA's and Pilots will be done soon. Are We closer than I thought?

From the pilot’s side, we are probably closer now to the end of the mediated bargaining sessions. G4 management hasn’t smelt the coffee yet, so they have consistently shammed the process with crap proposal one after the other, even the cost neutral stuff is a struggle with these people. An OP gave a good example of B6 having surpassed us in TA’d items, and have only just begun. In comparison we have been in negotiations for over two years now.

As always MG’s actions speak louder than his words. Negotiators have standing orders to not agree to anything and offer concessionary economic proposals. As a side bar to the on going negotiations will be an interesting remedy from the las vegas federal court. Where our injunction and lawsuit are filed, for illegally violating status quo, by converting our bidding process from Line to PBS.

The merits of the case are obvious to everyone, except G4 management. The judge has already granted our injunction for immediate relief because we are more than likely to win the lawsuit. His words not ours. The end of which is near. This combined with the NMB witnessing nothing of substance from G4. IMHO, I think his statement is correct, not because he believes it to be true.

 

So, first off I'll walk a line with you fellas. Don't worry about that, my sign on is for a laugh. My question is does anybody know what the new hire class schedule is? Due to a lack of options I took the job, but can't take the November class start date due to a mil deployment. I'm afraid they won't be running another class for a long time. Any ideas? Thanks

 

Don't worry, this place will be a perpetual revolving door. You'll have plenty of classes to choose from.
