You can. Both in CrewWeb and the published wide reports

 

Yeah--kinda easy to fill new hire classes when the company can just ignore the contract and pay whatever they need to keep the sludge flowing into the schoolhouse.

It remains to be seen whether ALPA national's legal team will take their typical "convivial/kumbaya" tone with management about the Section 6 implications of those new hire payments/iPad reimbursements, or whether they'll actually try to hammer the issue with the NMB. Personally, I'm not optimistic.

The unspoken directive from Herndon and the legacy skygods ever since the Comair strike has been "keep the feed stable--and keep it cheap." Not sure if we'll see that change in our lifetimes...ALPA national (which includes our legal/financial advisors) seems more concerned with preclearance facilities in Abu Dhabi than the fact there are scores of FOs flying 76-seaters who qualifiy for food stamps. I don't anticipate them or our MEC opening the Pandora's box of a section 6 violation on our behalf--too much risk they'll compromise the cheap feed us serfs provide to the legacy fiefdoms of UAL and AA.

 

Didn't know that, but looking at CrewWeb it's kind of a mess and doesn't seem to load properly. Published wide reports?


The fact that they acknowledged the new hire benefits suggests they'll at least make a show of doing something about it. But if we lost the 50-seat base rate arbitration, I don't have much confidence in anything working out in our favor.

 

By published wide reports I think he means pbs awards. It shows the open time for each base/seat at the bottom.

 

Got it, thanks!

 

Anyone know if Mesa is screwing pilots still under contract and give two weeks notice over by putting "terminated" on their pria?

 

Didn't know they were doing this, but it sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Appreciate the heads up though.

 

I'm not sure if this is the case. I cleared out my schedule my last two weeks at Mesa and when I gave notice a day later I was out of the system. Same thing happened to another Mesa guy and a republic guy, although they did not give two weeks.

 

Good to know. I'm on my way out myself and this type of information is really helpful. I've heard a lot of horror stories so I'm trying to strategically plan the exit.

 

They can't put terminated if you weren't terminated. I heard they do put not rehireable on the pria if you don't pay the tranning contract.
