SA proposed DOH, but then they decided to change some Cargo 360 pilots DOH dates which is bogus. The letter was sent out saying they were trying to be fair. When they switched my DOH date to benefit some of their guys I took that as a slap in the face.

Cargo 360 brought the 400s, the new scheduling, the bonus, the increase in pay,and a great Chief Pilot. SA returns the favor by changing our DOH dates to favor their guys. I always thought that it was SA's management that was classless. Changing our DOH dates is a classless act by the SA pilot group. I urge the SA group to rethink this absurd action.

 

You are absolutely right the only fair thing to do is to go by the SACG contract and adjust the seniority dates by the day they reported for training.
That is how ours is, that is how yours should be.

 

Thanks for the bonus guys.
First rounds at the Polar Bar is on me.

 

You are classless. The only fair thing to do is merge a 3-1 merge. Your top three to our one since you guys were three times the size, but DOH probably would of been acceptable, but you guys are comically trying to change our DOH dates. Every company has their own method of developing DOH. The practice at Cargo 360 was done way before any talks of merger it just so happened to benefit 2 Cargo 360 classes.

I can't believe this was even attempted how ridculous. No wonder ......Biting my tongue...

 

Too Late....



I would propose that SAH pay a bonus to SAI crews in direct proportion to the # of Cargo 360 crewmembers that make the transition. The more that come over, the bigger the bonus.

18 Wheeler, you're very welcome, hope I can collect in ANC, and I hope I can recipocate (sp) some time.

I think it is in our best interest to ratify the Side Letter.

It looks like a good offer and is probably far better than any counter-proposal we could anticipate if the Side Letter fails.

Accepting the Side Letter offers a better deal than we could have anticipated.

Further, ratification of the Side Letter does nothing to jeopardize what memebers of the SACG had prior to its existence.

 

Any questions?

Remember, Gents, if someone offers to give you something for nothing, take a moment and ponder what they might actually be purchasing from you and what it's really worth to them.

As for me, I can't wait to be rid of this entire sordid affair.

 

Amen, Brother! It was fun for a while...

 

It's like a booger that just won't get off your finger.......

 

Your goals and expectations are waaaay too low. The SACG is passing up a fantastic opportunity to make a phenominal improvement in your lot in life, the clock is ticking, will you sieze the opportunity, or will the SACG go like sheep to the slaughter . . . . We will all know in a few days. I think it speaks volumes when 80+ crewmembers get offered decent paying jobs flying the whale and how many take it? . . . .


Neff has made a deal with the devil himself, he just doesn't know it yet. I submit that the SACG will/could be in the shoes of the C360 crew group in just a matter of months. You guys have a grand vision of a large ACMI outfit doing business around the world (it is a nice thought) with fast CAPT upgrades for all my friends. Then Oak Hill Capital will buy another small ACMI (me thinks, Focus or Tradewinds) and do it all over, resetting the depreciation clock again (that's where the real money is in this deal), then you all get "conditions of employment" to work for "Focus Air Holdings", all in <24 months, get the picture and I think that the chances of you getting the same severence deal that C360 got is . . . nil. I am prepared to make a tidy gentlemen's wager on my theory.

As for me, I'm with StripAlert, "I can't wait to be rid of this entire sordid affair" and get on with my life.
