Wow.... |

You are correct that a union that wasn't conflicted with one of its groups benefitting at the cost of another, would certainly have done a better job! Side letter after side letter after LOA bought the company all the time they desired and the rest was gravy. It was a small group that was forced back and received back pay. I received neither while the pilot rolls doubled at DCI. Was that you shiz saving our bacon? If so thanks shiz....how did we ever avoid BK??...oh wait:rolleyes:
Nobody saved the company from BK, and no union could save a company from BK... If I'm wrong please show me a good example. Poor management leads to bankruptcy, keep your blame in the right place. |

They left for SW last year, when they were hiring. The 2 left for FedEx shortly after starting here a couple years ago. I know we have 2010 hires who are applying & interviewing at UAL. The story is 100% true.
I would say this is valid information. |

What about per seat though? Especially with the MD90?
I was quantifiying the previous poster's assertion that ALPA would benefit more from 40,000 "moderately" paid pilots(RJ), versus 20,000 "highly" paid pilots (mainline). I contend that is not the case. A vast majority of the growth was at NON-ALPA DCI anyway! ACA - gone (ALPA) CMR - gone (ALPA) XJT - LAX DCI terminated (ALPA) ASA - pretty much stable, some growth (ALPA) MESA - DCI cancelled (ALPA) CPZ - mostly stable sized (~100 pilot growth) (ALPA) PNCL - shrinking (ALPA) MSA - shrunk and merged (ALPA) SKYW- lots of growth (non union) GOJET- new DCI. (Non-ALPA) CHQ - lots of growth (non-ALPA) shuttle Amer. - lots of growth (non-ALPA) |

They won't factor into any argument here, so what's the big deal?

If you stick around here, you'll be a 767 captain before they even make senior FO... If you're making the jump because of a small base, then that's probably not such a great trade, since we all know those ebb and flow. It's a gamble, to be sure. Nu |
When does scheduling usually assign short calls, in the morning or a little before 3? It's been a while.

Wow....[/ My apologies as I completely misinterpreted this post as being a very recent occurence. When I was a new hire we had a guy in another class leave for SWA and it was unprecedented back then as DAL was on the Forbes list of best company's to work for. We also had furloughees in the early 90's who got hired at FDX and UPS who subsequently quit those jobs to get recalled at DAL in 1996. Look how that decision has turned out for them. |
