From a friend of mine who's a CA at F8.
"I don't see us flying past December"
I guess their rumbling and grumblings there aren't too bright and cheery.
This industry makes Homer..something something....

I heard this from a 70 CA. (He was the only one who took the November COLA BTW) He told me that the Vag's wife was ****ed off because the flight was delayed, and threw a tantrum in first class (CR9). The CA said he went back to try to calm the situation when she said "this is the worst airline i have ever been on". He replied to her " Ma'am, if you would like, we can have you removed from the airplane". Glamor Shots himself was sitting right next to her, and he didnt say a word.
Apparently she changed her attitude and and flew to CVG after that. I wonder if the Vaj gave her one of his "you need to adjust your own attitude" speeches to calm her.

The CA (myself) talked to Selvaggio on my way back from the lavatory, and indicated to him that we would be on our way soon. His wife never made any statements or had a major trantum as RU4692 says. The whole story is untrue, based on rumours and is slanderous.
Honestly, being a CA if this would have happened I would have no problem with removing an unruly passenger. No exceptions.
This is what happened when ALPA had to shutdown the webboards at Comair: false, untrue stories, people making up stuff.
RU4692, I am curious who you are by spreading these rumours around?

Attention everyone: this is absolutely NOT true!

This is an internet based forum, therefore by definition of the internet, public domain. This is not an ALPA sponsored website
nor do they endorse the rumors, so dont compare apples and oranges.
Besides who are you for calling me a liar? Is it entirely possible that more that one CA had JS on his flight?

While the Union guys have been great through this whole SNAFU and working very hard to get management to reverse the decision by Briner, I feel credit needs to be given where it is due. Governor Beshear's (KY) office got involved and were the one's who pressured management to do the right (i.e. "legal") thing with the checks.
If you notice the complete change in attitude it is almost comical. First they took everything, now they aren't even taking the last check which they legally may or may not have been entitled to. They were scared into this by the Governor.
I am not from Kentucky and have never voted in anything but a presidential election, but you better believe I will make the point to vote for Beshear next time around. Those of you who got paid today because of him should consider doing the same.
And please don't take this as a slam on the Union, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of work they put in on resolving this theft by the company. Its just not where the results came from.

What do you mean "who you are by spreading these rumors around"? I am not making this story up. If this is "false", or "untrue" perhaps the CA that told me this shouldn't have embellished his story.

HELLO! You are pointing me out as an individual by indicating who was the only CA that took a COLA in November. Now it has become personal because you slandered my name by putting it on a public website.

From a personal standpoint, I should have not mentioned ANYBODY's name on this site, nor should I have made any refrences to anyone, and for that I apologize. I have nothing personal against any CA's, and I have no desire to slander any of my fellow pilots. I am just ****ed off at the way this airline is being run, and how they are treating their employees.

I may be giving management a lot of credit here by saying this but does anyone think they (management) knew what they were doing all along? Do you think they knew they would give us our money, but they were just trying to bluff the union? Management has to be smart enough to know that withholding someones paycheck is against the law and obviously the KY labor board would get involved. I highly doubt they were surprised to hear from them. I just don't see them saying.. "oh gee whizz, its the KY labor board, we never thought about this guys" ... They have to be smarter than that.
I just wonder if they are bluffing. I wonder if they are bluffing some of these furloughs also. And no better way to play that card than pull some paychecks. Makes it sound real, more real than it is. Thoughts??
