The laziness of the modern man is truly amazing. The biggest hiring boom in history and still they can't be bothered filling out the apps. Then when the ugly happens they will be the first to complain.

 

And then they will sling gear for us. Peculiar industry, 'eh?

 

Indeed it is.

 

Well. Any early opinions on the LOA?

 

IMO on any LOA read it without the drama. See what it will OR will not do for you. Listen to others with "rational" viewpoints then pull the trigger and vote.

 

My reading of it is that the new hybrid lines will make it much harder for junior "vacation low" bidders to hold a line.

Funny how this Loa came out so quick. Why not just wait for the contract extension offer that should be out within two months? Something doesn't add up.

 

And the "REPS" of the MEC are in the crew lounges, yet again, trying to sell us a TURD.


Oh, and in the ATL LEC the election vote is running concurrently.

Wake up ASA sheep, you're about to get fleeced again by the ALPA leave full timers.

 

Hopefully XJT gets a TA soon.

Anyways I'm having trouble posting a new topic on here-might be my phone who knows anyways..

There has been a rumor that delta posted some crj900 pay rates on this site within the past week or so...first year fo is 70 and first year Capt 128. Surprised no one is talking about this. My buddy over at Mesa said his entire company is talking about this. Again, surprised no one has brought this up unless it's been posted longer than people realize

 

Have you read the alleged "turd"... Although I don't wish to fly in the right seat, I accept it as reality. I didn't make the poor choices management did, but yet I live with them and do what I can to make it better.

This LOA will make it much easier for long term FO's to upgrade and finally get a pay raise they deserve. Along with this, reservist will see a huge increase in quality of life. Moreover, the LOA is only for year, which shows you that they are likely going to use it to upgrade significantly. I'm not happy the way things have gone, but right now you are being asked to make a choice. Go down one path and the company may wind down. go down another and we might have a bright future. Even if you are senior and don't care anything about the other pilots on the list, you have to admit that it is a step in the right direction with serious gains. I know many lifers here don't care much about the absolute plight of our FO's, but you should. If there aren't any FO's to staff then you should start to worry about who is going to be in that right seat, ****hint, it's you*****...

Point is, listen to what the reps say, educate yourself on the language, and make an educated decision, rather then saying it's just a turd.

........ I said I wouldn't ever post on this again... you roped me in... shame on me I suppose
