I ain't pickin' up schit! Critical or not! They can kiss my ***.

This band of crooks has been intentionally hiding and monkeying with the reserve grid so as to not live up to their contractual obligations for a year and a half,...... but NOW they want me to come to their rescue???

Kiss my ***, Dion.

 

Excuse my ignorance but I have yet to fly with any 121 airline. I was wondering if it is possible to bid and fly only 1 day trips, or possibly only 1 or 2 day trips?

 

If you live in Cincinnati you can easily

 

That's awesome. Would Knoxville be similar?

 

No. Exact opposite.

 

How long do you guys think that these bonus' will be given to new hires? Literally weeks from my decision. Also what do you predict will happen to second year pay?

 

The bottom line is that if they want to staff a 150 aircraft airline then something is going to have to change for the better. Pay will have to increase across the board, and the union's position is that should be in the form of actual pay rates.

Keep your fingers crossed.

You may have mentioned this before, but where do you live?

 

Things will improve they will just wait as long as possible before they do what they know they have to do.

 

I'm currently in Dallas but I'm interested in moving back down south. I'm exploring all my options at this point. I like the 3k extra for hotels ect. That extra will help me financially. I don't have much money and it would be nice to finally say that I'm making some sort of progress financially.

 

The commuter hotels program is kinda "meh" in a lot of people's minds. First they said "effective immediately" way back in May, then figured out they had no clue what they were doing so they moved it out to July 1. I have no idea of how functional the program is going to be, especially when compared to other carriers they give you 4 nights a month and all you have to do is call scheduling and they get it set up for you.

The 15K would be a big help, but that amount really needs to be dropped and rolled into pay rates, IMO. Even then, you'd still see the money your first year without having to deal with a two year contract for the bonus.

Also keep in mind that "down south" will be a two leg commute to reserve to any of our junior bases, unless "down south" is referring specificaly to TYS.

All that said, I expect some big changes soon.
