No he will go to Burger king. Burger King just signed a failsafe 10 year contract for Coca Cola products, while Mcd's is up for renewal, they are thinking of switching to a 3 year Pepsi contract.
Plus BK employees make 10 cents an hour more than McD's employees, if he went to McD he would be undercutting and labeled a scab.....
And HOW DARE McD's build a restaurant just down the road from BK! Anyone who accepts a job there are SCABS!!!!!!

now im starting to sound as ridiculous as some of the other posts:o

you would have to be blind to think thats why asa got their contract. give me a break. you know how long asa had been without a contract? do you know how long their performance numbers were the bottom of the industry? obviously you dont.

what got asa the contract was uncle jerry. he had just bought them and was tired of the discord over there. he even fired the ceo after all was said and done.

Now that's funny!!:D

5 years
yup, and they were worse in the last couple months of negotiations

Whatever you want to believe.

Don't bother with him, Moon, he won't believe what is true. He seriously thinks it was Jerry at Skywest that got them the contract. The reason ASA got the contract was because they started the Fly Safe campaign and put the screw to management. Gas costs a lot these days, hopefully the guys at Pinnacle can start to fly safe as well, I would guess a new contract in... 1 month.

My guess: turned down for a job.

You know POPA that makes perfect sense!

I really wanted a job there!

In all seriousness I only applied at Eagle and ExpressJet. QOL was the main factor in my book

................we'll be the judge of that. hows the commute going tp?

I have plenty of friends at XJT and Eagle who called me in the last 2 months wanting to know if we're still hiring at 9E...because the XJT guys were worried about shutting down (a threat which is over for now) and the Eagle guys are worried about getting furloughed (a very real possibility).

As for our contract negotiations, I think a 99% strike vote and a labor-friendly President are a better bet in the current environment than a safety campaign...and even though ASA has great rates now, I'm not sure how they're gonna fare post-merger...precisely because they have great rates.

Survive through the merger, then get a new NMB, then go on a safety campaign or strike...that seems the most logical order of things to do right now. Go ahead and say I'm "contributing to the downward spiral."

I agree with POPA... You probably got turned down by both 9e and XJ. I for one am glad you went to XJT, we have enough of your UND friends here at XJ. I now I've had my fill of being a LCA for no extra pay. Since we are currently offering TOWOP, maybe you could call up some of the people you know at XJ and invite them over to XJT- maybe they could use the extra money. That would make many long time XJ Pilots very happy!:D
