why not, the Majors don't fly for that much more, what is like 50% less then pre-9/11, not including inflation. I am sick of the mainline guys always crying how the regional guys ruined everything, it was the greed and ego of the mainline guys that created this mess, not us. I wish the mainline guys would lead by example and stand up for themselves for once..........

You nailed it, drvannostren. Typical of frustrated pilot groups, they start doing stupid acts of desperation. Take it out on each other when you can't get anywhere with management. Really smart.

I see so UAX pilots should just sit idly by while their OWN pilots are illegally denied the JS on their/our own aircraft........if the UAL Mainline guys would GIVE up the seat they know they shouldnt have it wouldnt be a problem.... but then that might inconvienence some mainline guy.... what if UAX guys were getting a mainline seat over a UAL guy... holy crap batman what would the fall out be... but see its "just" a regional guy... so mainline pilots couldnt care less.

i dont like this either... but not sure what the answer is.

Default Politics

I just deleted two posts that were political in nature. I realize it's difficult to discuss some issues without bringing politics into the mix, but please self-moderate and keep your posts within the guidelines of the TOS.

Topics Not for Discussion

There are currently NO forums that provide a venue for discussing politics or religion. While DreamLaunch Media Ltd. and Airline Pilot Central embrace the diversity the world has to offer, these subjects often are very emotional and there are many different views. In our experience the wide range of views and emotions rarely contribute to a harmonious online community or beneficial contributions to the piloting profession.
Please send a PM to HSLD or Freight Dog if you need clarification on this or any other APC policy.

I didn't say it was all the commuters fault. I agree mainline dropped the ball, but the commuters are also partly responsible. And I'm sick of the commuters not accepting some of the blame. You are right, our pay is not so great. But there is a big difference why. Ours was forced on us by a BK judge. As for standing up for themselves, they are trying. But it isn't easy when the pay rates set by the commuters are so low. Not trying to fight with you. But mainline and the commuters are to blame. Not just one or the other.

I read the whole thing today. It is easy, United just needs to fix the computer glitch. Simple as that.

Your right. But it was a BK judge that forced mainline wages on them.

Sorry, refresh my memory. Which airlines had pay rates FORCED on them by a judge while in BK? Did Wedoff determine what EVERY pilot left on property would make make at UAL?

I remember them (the pilot group) agreeing to multiple concessions.

I also remember the CAL/AA pilot groups agreeing to a concessionary CBA and NOT being in BK.

I believe the only group that had pay "forced" on them was AS. And that was by an arbitrator.
