Accepting a Recall and the JB Contract
 

Can anyone give me some confirmed numbers on the amount of pilots at JB who have accepted a recall from their previous Part 121 carriers and have actually left within the 2 year period as prohibited in their employment contract?

No.

...GP...

some guys accepted the recall and were given an inmediate LOA from their Major until they could finished whatever was left on their 2 year contract with Blue (the full 2 years on a guy I know).
ask your CP.

Actually we have 5 year contracts. Maybe they only had 2 years left???

I think he meant the 2 years no compete portion of your 5 year contract. The part that prevents you from going back to your former 121 carrier for 2 years.

I think that is what they are referring to.

that's what I was refering to snafu, the 2 year non-compete-can't go back to your previous airline clause.

Thought so.

Neeleman's a genius getting saps to sign a personal service contract with that clause in it. Poor dumb bastiges. LOL!

Myself and another guy from my class left after 7 months. We both returned to our previous airlines and I haven't been sued to date.

Welcome back to the world. Now you can have a jumpseat ride.

flyforbeer, take a big step backwards. The farther away you find yourself from the kool-aid jug, the better.

Relax my man. While velocipede is convinced we have ruined his quality of life, no need to get all junior high about it. He thinks his jumpseat, actual or metaphorical, is a coveted item. Let him drown in his own hatred all by himself.

Quack! Quack!
 

Looks like it is and you ain't getting one, duckie.

I'm losing all sorts of sleep over it too.

Go back to the tool shed tool bag!:mad:

Quack! Quack!
 

Another flocker speaks!

Velocipede is too much a coward to identify what sorry airline he or she works for. Of course, if he did, nobody would even try to jumpseat on that airline to deny him his perverted satisfaction. One day he will retire or loose his Class 1 because of all these ulcers caused by his hatred. What other silly threats will he then have to make up for the lack of reasonable arguments?

He works for Alaska.
And probably doesn't commute. Or if he does, it's on Alaska so he doesn't have to ask others.

Thanks.
The next poor Alaska pilot who asks for our jumpseat will get an earful.
What goes around - comes around.
I thought Alaska had good people - but then again, they hired a former American Eagle Chief pilot...

Why are you acting like this? Just cuz V is a d1ck, do not label all AS pilots just cuz of him.

Hey Gman,

That flows along the same logic as the Eastern guys who used to give me crap about our airline not being an ALPA carrier when I tried to commute.

As if I with my little BE1900 job was going to change the world. It is all one profession. Keep that in mind. It is the individual bone heads that need to be identified.

Quack! Quack!
 

Typical B6 "pilot" ignorance. Too stupid to figure out where I work by himself and then taking out his frustration on some poor jumpseater when he knows I'd never darken the door of his "duck blind." Exactly like the guy who comes home and beats his kids because he can't stand the pressure at work.

Just remember, G, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck!

He commutes from GEG.

Would that be Max Griffin? If so or not, I always wondered where he went.

Yeah we're all gonna waste our time researching your previous posts and other threads to determine where you work. It still amazes me that you are so fearful of just coming out and saying it yourself. Again I ask, what are you afraid of? Nobody is going to assume you speak for your company. Your company's remarks would be much more professional.

You feel nothing but contempt for a guy taking a job with JetBlue. I'm sure you were fortunate enough to get hired during the good times when there were jobs a' plenty. A lot of guys out there are dealing with furloughs from their fine unions jobs and are trying to feed their families. A lot of other guys don't have the right connections to land a job at FedEx or UPS. Since most of your beloved uinon companies have been knee-deep in bankruptcy for several years, their choices are union jobs that pay $20/hr, JetBlue paying $52/hr, or finding another line of work. Who the hell are you to dictate which path they take?!

Ah, yes. Exactly the reasoning scabs use to cross picket lines.

Taken there by greedy managers to lower pay and retirement plans to the B6 level.

Either of which would be preferable to willingly taking a non-union job that undercut the existing contracts of UNION pilots.

Simply someone who has too much self-respect and honor for the profession to stab fellow pilots in the back. Someone who has walked two picket lines and seen scabs cross them because they had to "feed their families".

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck.

Fly4Beer,

You have an appropriate callsign. At least you wil admit how low you will go. Sad.

GMan,

Your avatar shows four military fighters but your profile shows only civilian background. What gives? Is that you in the P-38 leading the formation?

So outspoken, so righteous, so COWARDLY. Back to my, and others', previous question. Why are you so afraid to say where you work and talk about your own company? You can put this matter to bed very easily. All your squawking is meaningless until you are man enough to quit hiding.

Says Velocipede: silence.......more silence.

That's what I thought.

Yet you gladly stab me AND all our furloughed brothers and sisters in the back by supporting a change to the Age 60 rule, so you can work another 5 years while they wait their turn. Does that make you a scab?

After watching the way the senior guys in the union pull up the ladder I can't blame guys for going to fly for jetBlue or anybody else. You can't use the cover of being in the union to mask every time you screw everyone junior to you. At least the SCABS screwed us in public, you and the rest of the folks pushing for age 60 change are doing it under the cover of darkness and with the flag of unity at half mast. That is some brotherhood.

You are small, vile, and a hypocrite as well if you insist on supporting a change to Age 60.

FJ

This age 60 thing is driving me crazy.
Who wants to work over 60 anyways? Not me...

That's the "I got mine, to hell with the rest of you" philosophy.

How long ago was this? Back to NWA?

The Pig.

Lol! I don't want to work past 50 to be honest.
