Increase x percentage? Wow... talk about false statistics. You really can make stats lie. Next, they will be calling you in because your on-time-performance decreased by 10%.

Sounds like they need FAA attention. I call it coercion. If you know any of the Captains, please tell them to write a statement of fact on the FAA Hotline website. Let the FAA deal with BJ. Sounds like Allegiant style antics.

Wow. Could the increase in write ups be correlated to the gutting of tech ops? Just sayin'.

 

If you ever think safe operation of the aircraft at the behest of (insert workgroup here) is in question, file an ASAP. Every time.

 

Guys, please be really careful here. UAL union got a really big fine a few years ago based mostly on what was posted online by some of our more rabid people. There are lots of management people reading what is posted here. This could really hurt efforts to get a good contract.

Oh I hope you didn’t think I was questioning you.
Just making an observation about what a stupid thing to call a guy in for. But that seems to be SOP right now. There are legitimate things to question captains about and I was asked about something that was a safety issue when the ground guys dorked up. Quick professional email from CP over and done. This other stuff is such a waste of their time, that takes them away from real issues.

I really hope we get past this because this damage will be hard to repair.

 

Can you please provide examples of specific activities (e.g. what they said) resulting in a fine? Lots of people have opinions but rarely a true understanding of the process and its findings that resulted in the fine. Need data.

So far nothing here has been written with the singular purpose of devaluing the company's profit or otherwise in a malicious capacity. Only the legal responsibilities of a pilot are discussed. There shouldn't be retribution for exposing a degrading safety culture, although it appears to be rampant in this industry due to decades of pilot tolerance for it.

The best thing to do is to let the FAA sort things out. If there's a concern regarding safety, no matter how small, it should always be reported. The FAA will take over and thus the pilot is not liable for spreading rumors or anything like that. This could have helped other airlines that have gotten recent attention in the media. I wonder how many pilots at 2 recently highlighted airlines walked past safety issues or safety culture issues without using the FAA hotline....

ASAP or Safety Action Report? (forgot what it's called)

Is the SAR sanctioned in law like ASAP is?

If you were an ALPA member, which you're not, since you're a management plant and not an airline pilot, you'd know exactly what the criteria is when you log in to an ALPA web forum.

 

I still don't get why you would think Q is a management plant. He has been very vocal about ALPA being asleep at the wheel and asking for MORE agressive action from our MEC. Why would a management plant argue for those things? Hyperboy is an open management plant. He may be a dues paying member, but his sympathies lie squarely with Hayes and Co.

 

Because he's asking pilots to take matters into their own hands, not follow MEC guidance.

The MEC has been clear about what every pilot needs to be doing.
