I hate to see this type of strong arming. Not only that but skywest appears to be working very hard to take Mesas position (as mesa is about gone) to be the slimiest of them all. Make no mistake those of you at skywest, if this purchase goes forth it will not benefit your pay or schedule (two of the biggest factors in a pilots life) at all. In fact it may make them worse.
Make no mistake, I'm not a cool-aid kid, I voted for ALPA, but I can't let a stupid comment like that go unanswered. |

... must be nice living in you make-believe fantasy world :rolleyes: I was in a recent recurrent class and one of the reasonable and reliable upper mgmt types was in to speak and answer questions. It was stated that our most recent offer to CAL (I'm assume it's been rejected) was lower than any other offers and lower than any current CBA/contract. This is where Larry "the bean-counting bobble head" Kellner's ego comes in. He could have easily been a stand-up individual and said, "XJT, you thought you could play with the big dog. You finally realized that you can't and you need us. We'll take you up on your offer." I understand business decisions, like diversifying regional feeds and lowering costs. Instead, he is determined to erase XJT from existence. Let me add that I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories or live in paranoia land. In fact, I'm usually naively optimistic. But not in this case. |

Our Frontier codeshare will be ending soon. Approximately 100 newhires were sent packing. Upgrades were canceled. CA's who are only days away from taking their FED ride have been told they will not have the chance to do so and have since been assigned a FO schedule. Add to that mix, the likely loss of all 50 seat CAL flying. But not once have I considered it F9's fault.. or that they are out to get us.. It's just business in my fantasy world.

I am saying CAL has had it in for us for a while, if you worked here maybe you'd realize that.

As for Mesa, you do realize that our guarantees and QOL policies are arguably the best in the nation and have been for decades. Yes we don’t have a contract but SKW has proven their willingness to abide by and improve upon it more than any other union carrier has. If you ask most ASA pilots you’ll hear that SKW has continued to improve their working conditions and QOL above and beyond what has been agreed upon in their TA. JO and team have never accomplished 1% of what Jerry and friends have created. Not Kool-Aid just 35 years of facts. Argue as you will; I’m just glad as I’m sure most will agree, that I don’t have to share the same flight deck with you and your ignorance. Good day. |

So is LK egotistical or a bean-counter? I'm confused. |
