Hmm. You sound just like an FO who took a plane from me a few weeks ago. Dissed me for NOT wearing the lanyard then complained that the APU wasn't running. Last time I checked, the things you mentioned above (single engine, APU, basically everything) are decided by the Captain...

 

Hi and welcome. The company will give you. 600 bucks on your first or second pay check. The minimum iPad is an Air 2 32GB, WiFi.

I personally have an Air2 64GB WiFi only. I think the mini is no longer allowed or is the older ipad 2,3 and 4 and the original Air

 

Guys and gals. It's about time to declare a ceasefire and re-focus. We all want the same thing, a vastly improved contract. Some of us disagree on the length of time this will take and the methods being used to accomplish this task. We pay our dues and elect our union leadership, we may not like every elected individual but this union still belongs to us. Our union is currently trying to unify us, but we have to participate; this informational picketing is less for the company and more for us! Do you have questions about the contract bargaining process and can make yourself free on 19APR? If so, then you are in luck because there will be plenty of union reps there to answer questions. I'm sure we will be meeting at our ALPA MEC office next door to the G.O. There will be more to this pilot gathering than standing around with signs on Tower Rd.

Some disclosure, I'm a former regional pilot that had turned anti-ALPA. And I wasn't that excited to see ALPA come on property. But I'm impressed with the speed and efficiency demonstrated by our ALPA team in advancing our agenda via RLA process. In my opinion, the only way to accomplish the task of securing a vastly improved improved contract are with methods currently being utilized. After all, it is Indigo Partners we have been dealt. Yes, it would feel good to "stick it to the man" but we can't organize a slow-down in any fashion if we wish to continue making progress via legal means.

We were in negotiations for 6 months before being granted a mediator, that is unreal! We surely have the most favorable mediator that our union could ask for, out of a dozen other options. This ball is in our court, the time to unify is now.

Throw on your uniform, (dust off your hats) and please join me at the picket. We're your friends and your co-workers, regardless of your opinions, we want all of you there.

 

Why am I not surprised, this coming from the guy who just a few pages back advocated for us to be paid no more than Spirit or Allegiant.

You sound like a real pleasure to fly with. "basically everything is decided by the CA?" CRM much? BTW, if I am hot or the cabin is hot, I will start the APU. Your captain complex is not going to stop me from doing the safe thing and not making our pax AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS uncomfortable.

Oh, and why aren't you wearing the lanyard?

 

Apple JUST updated the Air 2 equivalent so I'd say just get that one.

Or maybe a pro (9.7), but that's only if you want to be a baller.

 

Here. I was a bit off. Its more destinations than Spirit, but we will have 130 weekly departures.

Anyone know details on the next job fairs Frontier will attending?

 

Actually, it seems like most people love flying with me. I let them do whatever they want so long as it fits within the four corners of the FOMs.

You're post is wrong, I said we SHOULD be paid at least what Spirit makes, if not more, they are our peers. People here just want a reason to complain and it is very frustrating.

I don't ever pull the "I am the Captain card," unless I absolutely have to. I will quickly overrule anyone who is trying to take illegal work actions into their own hands. There is absolutely no reason to admonish someone for doing their job correctly, which is basically what happened to me. Why do you care what color my lanyard is? That's none of your business.

By the way, I would be very careful on here, many people are basically admitting to illegal work actions. These people who are constantly running the APU and insisting on two engine taxi everywhere, and writing up the smallest, stupidest things, it will catch up with you...

 

Career Fair -

 

Wow. Hahahaha. I guess we are militant at Spirit compared to this sort of drivel
