Too many times I've had to wait 2+ hours just for the guy to show up because he's at home or working on a different airplane, & he's the lone mechanic. |
Quick question for you guys/gals in the know:
I had a GS the other day that got canceled so we headed back home. They gave me 2 hr suit up pay (after I had to call about it) but said that it isn't GS. I'm a reservist that never gets close to breaking min guarantee so I just gave them about 5 hours of time for free. Since I went to the airport exclusively for this trip shouldn't this be GS and therefore on top of min guarantee? What say you? |

Results: 1) Regular pilot – single pay and credit for rotation #1. 2) Reserve pilot - suit up pay and credit, and additional time free of duty under Section 23 S. 11. |

Straight from the contract for a canceled GS.

Not to assume but it's either because 320s require maintenance while Boeing and MD products never require maintenance or MELs, note sarcasm, or he's lost sight that mainline is better than rjs and to keep the big picture: 320 = job, CVG < DTW, be glad CVG is still there.
I mean this aint pre 9/11 and pre 2000, if you're a line mechanic and a plane needs afixin then that's job security. The more problems the better I'd think. But that's just me and I like paychecks even if it interferes with the Honorable Judge Judy. But I'm assuming and don't mean to pick on one guy. While you were using sarcasm, you'd be amazed what I've heard people say about the airbus (other pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants): "I just don't want to fly an airplane where I'm not in control of it." "Those are french made throw-away planes." "we just need to park all of them...they break and are dangerous." As I'm staring at them and about to ask them if they need a helmet to walk around safely... |
Just so you know guys, I've been working out:

MEM had to cause the current system was a joke. 35 minute airplane swaps and it took 20 minutes just to get a hold of anyone for MX. |
