Second try one of the original captians to go through training who also help write half to the company manuals. |
Any way this is not a who's bigger contest the whole point of my original post was that unless you are paying the bills for that fuloughed ASA guy don't be quick to judge. At the end of the day the company can care less what you do and your fellow pilots who are still flying the line are not going to pay for your childs day care. So if providing for your family the best way you know is going to another regional (even if its not every ones favorite) then by all means your alright in my book.

Our present 80 was simply to get rid of the "Temp" hires for last year's Summer off of the company's seniority list and pawn them off to GoJets. Doesn't sound like our system Chief Pilot is having much trouble convincing the giddy boys and girls who just HAVE TO FLY A JET to leave ASA's seniority list to get on over to GoJets and resign their seniority numbers. Gotta get us temporary workers off the list somehow. |

Also, the company didn't hire you to be a "temp" as you put it. When you were hired, the company was hiring 40/month and upgrading 20/month. The attrition was also in the 20-30 range. No one could predict this whole economic crap sandwich that was handed to all of us.

That has to do with furloughs, not with getting people off of the seniority list. I am asking what advantage does the company have to pawn people off to go jets.

Last Thursday, 5 CRJs had flap failures and that was only in the first half of the day. All of those were in very cold places such as Des Moines, Harrisburg, Toronto..etc..seems to be on the rise with colder temps. The spare crjs are for the increase in mx issues such as these and also for the 2 damaged in BTR.

Leading reason I don't really venture around these parts anymore. I don't have to explain anything to you. One, because there is nothing to explain and two because it was clearly sarcasm. There are a lot of great people at our company, but the motives of Scott Hall must be considered by all those presently flocking for a GoJet interview. |
