Okay Dad...........

It's designed to wear you down, lower your expectations, and fracture group unity by creating infighting.

We will not succumb to any of the above.

Stay unified and never lower your expectations just to "get a deal"

Not in denial or anything, I'm just curious, how do you know?

Come onnnnnnnnnn, I can't expose my source :)

Source Chimpy? The entire NC is from LEC18. Not a stretch of the imagination that a few insider tips get passed around there.

It don't matter none at all, it's pretty obvious the company doesn't care to be serious about negotiations. Oh we'll get a contract alright, it'll be a concessionary contract because "we must keep costs low to merge with Frontier, and hey, upgrades will be 2.5 years, so give out those free smiles, and by the way, don't those cute animals just look so darned cute on the tail?"

Skrew you, the slope is too steep. You're obviously a senior guy and you're "getting yours." How do you expect unity with this kind of slope? No other areline has this kind of slope. It's all about senior guys dumping on the junior guys. It's not fair. We need a shallower slope. I don't care what the top rate is, just so everybody is equally miserable.

I realize you are trying to illustrate a point here, but this isn't helping anyone.

Slope is the least of our worries. 10 months past the amendable date and we have TA'd Filling of Positions and I think Moving Expenses. Good grief, there's a car in my neighbor's backyard that will completely rust out and turn to dust before we see a contract.

Will you be in Houston? I know you said you were waiting for your schedule?

JC made a mistake on the audio message. I believe he said July but he meant June for the meeting.

Just a FYI

Well, I tried to help a year and a half ago with cogent, well thought out commentary based on a thorough understanding of the company's history and culture. Now it's time to sit back, watch the show, and embrace the suck.

Would you like a F----- medal

No thanks. The entertainment value of your incoherent rantings are enough for me.
High Five!

Tell your wife She left her purse here

Aaaaand in other news...

OBAP just opened up registration for their annual Career Fair.

See you in the Lombard.

Oh, did she already deliver that Chicago Sunroof? I really wanted to drop it off personally but who has the time these days?

Hahahahhahahahahahahahaha. That's awesome Hahahhaah.

Hopefully management will send out a company wide email to remind everyone that the registration is open so others can try to get on with a higher tier airline.

I am so tempted to sign up for the obap job fair.

Do it! The only way to move on is to promote yourself and network. Do you have your logbooks updated? Not only in airline apps but on your computer?(paper logbooks just look sloppy these days I've heard)Employment and residence history organized? New suit? You should seriously consider hiring a professional interview consultant, I think most serious canadites do. It's kind of overwhelming I know but make sure you bid for the correct days off, this takes precedence to anything else in your life. Don't forget to save money for the flight to the job fair, lodging and the entrance fee. You also need to become a member before you can even buy a ticket. Good luck! I hope you can get out of this ****hole and show these bastards we mean business! Do your part.

Oh by the way Rainbow, I just saw the job fair is sold out. I hope you were serious about it enough to buy a ticket as soon as it was announced.

What day/time did it open up?

I registered but was unable to 'Add Appointment' with any of the carriers.

Did you have this problem?

It's not sold out. I just registered for it

Talked with a 9 year. NINE YEAR CA who's going to OBAP lol .

Says an awful lot.............

Company has been getting hit w lots of pria requests

Good, F------ them

I got the email notification around 3pm on the 20th. (I became a member back in December when the Union released the company's idea of a "fair offer").

It took a while to figure out how to sign up for a "fast pass", the trick was to search not for the "company" Delta, but for the "person" Delta.

Regardless, an email from OBAP last night said that all fast pass slots are now full. You'll still have an opportunity for a walk up meet and greet, but I'm guessing it's only on a space available basis.

Good luck.

Does NK charge for the PRIA processing? I've heard our stellar management folks are charging almost $100 per request processed.

You Sir are my new HERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're allowed to charge, but I think only around $25 or $50. The 8900 says a reasonable fee, and then gives an example, I can't remember though, been a long time since I've been looking at that section.

Love the podcast with our CEO. So the CEO implies that we are Low Tier then has this lame explanation that said that he never actually said it. If the message implies it then to me it is the same. He might have well said it.

I have an idea of how to fix it. The CEO should just come out on the Podcast and admit that he said it. Then he should say that our pay scale as Low Tier pilots will be higher than the Highest Tier pilots. Easy fix then give ALPA pay scales that actually put us above all other Airbus Pilots as far as pay goes.

Easy Fix.

Management doublespeak. We ain't getting a contract any time soon.
