On the agenda for the special MEC meeting the other day was clearer rules for Union issued laptops to the volunteers; a clearer policy on buying the laptop when one chooses he/she no longer wants to be a volunteer or returning it to the union.....

....also discussed was the meeting between the union leadership and NG#4 and SB. Aparently NG#4 was pleased with what the union offered for furlough mitigation and was taking another look.

....NG#4 aparently also got 'permission' from Delta to offer buy outs to the pilots and flight attendants. It will be similar to the age 55 plan other employees have been offered. Approx. 400 pilots are eligible, but not nearly that many are expected to take it. Look for something to be posted about it on Monday. The window for this would be January 19th til I think Feb. 1.

....All this talk on EPIC mentioning 'slimming down' is aparently refering to the GO staff. We have the support structure for 1500-1600 pilots, but we all know we don't have that many on property anymore....it seemed like NG#4 understood that pilots already made their concessions in bankruptcy....

....NG#4 seemed to think that if another round of F-lows was needed, it wouldn't even be close to the numbers posted so far. This will hopefully be mitigated by any buyouts.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck to you out on the street.

 

Please call your status Rep. and ask. They are more than willing to help.

I also call scheduling from time to time with out giving them my name or product number and give them a 'hypothetical situation'. Then, once they tell me what they think, I either make the decision to call my rep. if I think they are wrong, or I tell them my name and number if I agree with them. That way, I figure out their side of the story and I have it on tape.

Good luck.

 

Outstations? Like Louisville, CMH, DAY, LEX, CRW? Backward places like that? (no offense to people from those areas it's just that the area is not really known for business savvy or anything really relevant, except coal mining and pot growing )
Ouch, SoCal to NoKY! What a culture shock! Keep those boxes packed in the garage and ready to go!

 

What part of SoCal? Bakersfield? Riverside?

 

From me to all of you:

"This firm requires no physical fitness program. Everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclussions, flying off the handle, running down the boss, flogging dead horses, knifing friends in the back, dodging responsibility, and pushing their luck!!!".

eVilBoy

 

Actually CMH has had many profitable businesses started there. Wendy's, Kinko's, Limited, Express, Bob Evans, NetJets, Abercrombie. And why are you even talking about this?? Is this my town is better than your town. Swee

 

Don't be hateful because you're getting furloughed. I'm sure JFK has their fair share of "pot" and our illustrious new president has big plans for clean coal technology. Many people here would never voluntarily trade places with you in JFK.

 

Dayton taught the world to fly, then like a bunch of morons didn't capitilize on it. They thought GM would be the road to riches, cept they forgot about the pollution, environmental concerns and GM's notorious reputation for MAN SEX.

Smart folks came there trying to get them to diversify thier economy, but that didn't work, they ran one dude out of town, now with everyone leaving that fecal hole, they want all the smart people back.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Should be able to take and handle thrusting (to give is not really a requirment, but you WILL get it).

You know your in trouble when your asked ON YOUR AIRLINE APP if you can handle MAN SEX.

 

Not hateful at all, in fact I'm glad I am being furloughed rather than being displaced to CVG.

My point exactly, about relocating the GO to JFK. We would not want the people there to come to NY, we would want them to quit so the company could finally get better management in place.
Pot may be smoked here, but KY is well known for it's rampant pot growing. State troopers in KY actually have patrols to find wild marijuana plants along roadsides that grow after the seeds blow from plants being grown there.
