What would happen to JBVentures and the Expedia wanna-be place?:rolleyes:

BOD has to be tired of all this BS, we certainly are.

Are you kidding me? They’re complicit in this whole sh!t show.

Like BlueDriver said, this place has so much wasted potential. It’s a shame really. Could easily be the best airline in the business with competent leadership…even as an LCC.

That's not good to read, because here at NK we're saying the exact same thing.

I’m REALLY scratching my head with this one. I fear it will only serve to impede management’s making real, neccessary changes. “See, we’re the best! You’re all just overreacting.”

OSC is/was a complete mess for the last few months, again, due to management failures. This management team has never taken responsibility or accountability for anything, it’s always someone else's fault!

I think the only reason our attrition has slowed is all the new hires are waiting on the settlement payout. I’d push back a class date a week or 2 for free money. Yes, you give up a little seniority but the massive hiring wave has only just begun……..again.

They don’t have to wait for the check. The check was guaranteed for everyone on property the day the loa was signed.

They can leave and still get the check.

Well crap. I wish I knew that three weeks ago!

Anyone who gives up a class date (Seniority) for a 1 time halfa$$ check is crazy. 1 class can be the difference between upgrade, or not, furlough, or not, someday. 1 PILOT ahead of you can be the difference between holding the cherry trip you want on the monthly bid, or not.

Especially for a guy who only been here a couple years. That little pittance of money isn't worth waiting for and giving up a class date.

This is (mostly) correct and also sad that it has to be pointed out.

But, it's not a halfa$$ check. It's "free" money, as the guy above explained.
