Attention PSA ALPA:
Please get someone else to read the fastread on the hotline recording. The guy who read the March 30th announcement sounds like a total moron, and I could not handle listening to him for more than 30 seconds.
If I wanted to listen to a 12 year old trying to imitate Glen Quagmire, giggity, I would turn on Family Guy so that Seth Macfartlane could try and humor me.
EPP did a tremendously better job.

The recalls are the just beginning of our turnaround. We all need to stand together to get the rest of our guys back. Do not pick up open time, don't answer your phone if scheduling calls. We need to show the company that we will fight back when they try to ruin our quality of life.
With the exception of the top 40 on the list, I feel that the majority of us have a common goal to improve our schedules and quality of life. We must stick together and fight to secure our future.

A lot of the improvements in working conditions we have made at PSA are a result of hard work by guys who are now on the top 40 of the list.
If you think things are bad at PSA now, you should have been here 20 years ago.
To insinuate that the senior guys are not committed to improving our working conditions is wrong and counter productive.
My question to you is: Are you ready to fix it or burn it down?
That is the only kind of resolve that will get you a better contract.

I disagree. For example, I flew with a Captain who is in the top 20 last week. He was with me because he had picked the trip up in open time (while we have pilots on furlough). He had no interest in what we are fighting for. All he cared about was his SDO pay. He also, in so many words, indicated that he would cross the line if we ever struck. This seems to be a common attitude of those at the top of the list.

Tex is that you? You never struck me as a Union Man being from the Republic of Texas and all. Why the turn around from your union bashing rhetoric? Picking up open time is a PSA pilot's right. You want to make management happy, don't ever pick up any open time and you instead are helping them dole out Continous Duty over nights to reserve pilots who are going to do it for no extra pay and never make over 72 hours pay for the month. We put our open time rules in the contract for a reason.. to reward pilots who want to go work a little extra and to help pay our bills. Again, if you can convince all pilots not to pick up open time, you'd be management's hero for the month.. hell for all time I guess.
aHAHAHAHAahahahahaha

Second, striking will only help repubic get our flying and we will just close the doors. US Air has 11 Express carriers doing our flying and legal or not they will get others to do it. A Strike, as much as i would love it, wouldn't solve a thing. Just get Airways to close our doors.
The answer is HAVOC. Just what ASA did. They are my hero's and they got a contract when they said ENOUGH! And noone went to Jail.

Well first off i haven't been able to pick up open time because of the new contract that management has written.

I'm telling you right now, that if we back down, if we do not draw a line in the sand, this will be the biggest indication to PHX that they can do whatever they want to us in the future. We need to work in a min fleet provision as PSA needs to do. Look at the mainline carriers, they can shrink only to a certain point. If standing firm to get what is ours takes blood (figuratively... i mean a strike) than so be it. You don't get the progress ASA made by just saying ok to all that Mgmt. wants.
