While I completely agree with you in general about the level of whining, etc., I must respectfully disagree with your opinion on the recent email security brouhaha. The server wasn't just requiring that the device be locked so that nobody can read our top secret IROP emails It was requesting administrator level remote access to the phone, allowing the server (i.e. Company) to, among other things, remotely encrypt device storage, monitor the operation of the lock screen, and completely erase the device without warning. Needless to say this is not the same thing as merely requiring a password, and is completely unacceptable.

That being said, it does appear that it was a temporary mistake, as I hypothesized earlier. Everything appears to be back to normal now. As much as I would have appreciated a word from the company about this problem, I've definitely stopped steaming about it and am going on with my life

 

Same here. Reinstalled Outlook, and so far so good. Apparently it was a temporary issue. Which for me came at a very inconvenient time, as I was trying to fix a sh&t show with my commuter hotels...

 

Picking up the slack to enrich yourself while giving the finger to the pilot group is what a scab does. You do it, I know you do! It's tantamount to breaking the CBA which specifically states the "company must keep appropriate staffing levels" Were we staffed appropriately when the floor was 95 hours minimum per month? Has hiring stopped? will we be "staffed appropriately" when it resumes? didn't think so.

You and your ilk allow the company to consistently undermine the "in good faith" clause in any contract, they plan on hiring lackys like you, who don't care about staffing levels and continue to breach the contract. Your last sentence speaks volumes to your cluelessness "You're working at the regional level bud, get off your high horse" because I'm gonna be gone to a major soon and this is to be expected in a regional and I wont have to put up with it a delta, a REAL airline.

It's the same thing as over sold flights, they always bank on the schmucks not showing, Are you the schmuck?

 

Wait wait wait. We're calling Pete who pick up open time at an airline with no contract negotiations, or pilots on the streets scabs now?

Are you for real? Guys, this guy's not for real is he?

 

lmao exactly, this guy is not worth anyones' time.

 

That dude must be fun to fly with

 

A Couple things...

When I started here most guys came from other 121's that they either were furloughed from or simply were beat down. They held everyone in check, I myself came over after a long stint at 2 other airlines and was bitter about my "industry experience" but again those guys kept me in check. I specifically remember being told "this place isn't like your last airline." In fact, they would get on this very forum and tell guys to knock it off...that being said for those of you complaining you have absolutely no clue how bad it could be. Yes, I get it, Trans States has stuck there dirty little STL fingers into a big portion of Compass, it sucks, but it's not going away anytime soon. There's been ALOT of change here, but honestly, this is still a good place to work, compared to most regionals. There's Pros and Cons to every place and Compass is no different, but at the end of the day, everyone that I have crossed paths with in my time here has been great and as much as I could sit here and complain about everything, I like my job and the people I work with.

With that being said, I completely believe the airline is staffed correctly. Where in lies the issue is crew scheduling, they have absolutely minimal experience in there and have no clue on anything contractually. This is why we as pilots need to know the contract better than them...it's that simple. They simply kick the can down the road everyday or have some stupid knee jerk reaction when a delay happens or an IROP occurs and a crew is going to "time out." This company is so entrenched in completion factor that they totally screw the recovery aspect of an IROP. Hence Critical Pay...Hence unable to drop anything. I firmly believe they have no idea who is assigned what and have any knowledge as far as reserves who is available and who isn't with IOCC. So moral of the story know what you can and can't do...make them do the work and don't help them out...this is there job. We are all professionals, we have responsibilities, and we are held to a high standard...they should be too. They should be held accountable for there actions just like we all are.

 

When you look at yourself in the mirror, I know it must suck. I hope things improve for you, I wish you the best.

 

I can tell you 100% it is not CPZ that is entrenched in the completion factor...it's that little airline down in ATL that won't allow us to cancel flights. Crew times out? Delay it 10 hours. Especially when they are having a "brand day". SFO ATC initiatives...AA requests cancels to free up slots,DL does not.

I can't tell if you're a super new guy who doesn't know what he's talking about or a super senior person who's been burned so many times at other airlines that you're hanging on by a thread to your sanity. Here's the definition of SCAB = A scab is a term used in the labour movement in general, and not just related to airline pilots. Basically any worker which crosses a picketline during a strike is scabbing, and essentially antagonizes themselves with the rest of the workforce. So no one is scabbing at Compass. Come up with a different term and maybe use that instead. When you find a regional airline that staffs properly you let us all know because you'll be looking long and hard. Like someone else said, TSH can't run anything efficiently and has infiltrated the Compass way. But Compass is still a pretty great place to work. Sometimes we need to step back, take a breath and realize how good things are in this industry. It wasn't long ago that it seemed like the sky was falling. Let's appreciate this time and do everything we can to take advantage of the situation (fly a ton, get some PIC time, volunteer and keep your apps up to date at your airline of choice).
