Then I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I really enjoyed working with CHQ down in MCO. Those were the good times!

Great........but you won't have to worry about me.

I hope you enjoy your job as much as I do mine.

I've seen some C-Taco planes with new paint...Midwest paint.

Pilot's Permanent Vacancy and Displacement Notice
2009-05 Fourth Quarter Posting
Positions
Positions Available - Positions Awarded - Vacancies

Captain B717 MKE
0 - 46 - 46

First Officer B717 MKE
0 - 41 - 41

Posting Date: September 1, 2009
Closing Date: September 7, 2009 @ 1800
Due to the elimination of the remaining five aircraft, the downgrade and furlough process will continue
throughout the fourth quarter

At this time, we are anticipating that all B717s will cease flying by the end of the year
Potential Furlough Dates and Numbers
October 31
st = 8
November 10
th = 20
December 4
th = 19
- All remaining pilots will be furloughed when aircraft operations cease

Downgrades will take place starting mid-October through the beginning of December


Now Delta has an 100 seat code-share partner with First Officer pay topping out at $37 per hour.


ps. Plus no retirement funding, trip guarantees and only like 30 Captains (out of 2000 pilots) can make more than $96 per hour.

The chickens have come home to roost...Too bad the "big airline" pilots didn't care about the chickens 10-20 years ago...

Make that 40 years ago..........when commuter airline pilots could legally fly 300 hrs a month (310 in a 31 day month) 10 hrs per day max with no weekly or monthly limits and ALPA wouldn't even talk to us and some of us were terminated for conducting a one-way conversation.

Hi!

Was just reading an aviation publication interview with Bedford. He said they were negotiating with TPG (TPG/NWA/DAL???) in the first quarter of 2009 to buy them out of MWA.

What is your union telling you guys about where they stand in the integration process. Last I heard they were getting all the "certified" seniority lists in order. Whatever that means... Maybe the unions can come to a temporary solution to save your jobs while a more permanent integration is worked out.

Republic has this language in your contract...



b. Subject to applicable securities and other laws and
regulations, the Company will review with the union the
details of any material agreements relating to Successorship
transactions in a timely manner, provided that no financial or
other confidential business information need be disclosed
unless suitable arrangements are made for protecting the
confidentiality and use of such information.


c. The operations of the Company and those of the other air
carrier shall be kept separate unless and until the processes
described in paragraph b above is completed and the
seniority lists of the two pilot groups are integrated in
accordance with Sections 3 and 13 of the Allegheny-
Mohawk Labor Protective Provisions are completed. During
such time of separate operations, neither aircraft nor pilots
shall be interchanged without the Union’s written consent.


Midwest and Republic are being merged,

it's not a code-share anymore.

Are you following this section of your contract? NO
Did the Republic pilots stop integration talks? YES
Are more Republic pilots flying more Midwest flights and passengers everyday? YES
Are you flying 100 seat (1 seat blocked) aircraft with no payscale? YES

And you don't what to be called "VIRTUAL SCABS".

People earn respect with actions not words!
