We don't have pilot bases in TYS or FWA either. Doubt we'll open any at those two any time soon, but I bet we often have MX positions open up there.

we also dont do 55 daily departures out of those places either, as we will be doing september

True, but that's a much better argument than ZOMG! POSTING FOR MX POSITIONS!!!111

Just further proof that TA1 should have never been sent for a pilot vote.

The MEC didn't do the pilot group any favors with that move. They should have voted it down at the MEC level and would have now already been released.

A year wasted in my opinion.

[quote=1forflying;832342] For those of you that don't know the match for 1-5 years of service is only 25% of the first 5% that you contribute. I contributed the 5% to get the match last year and that only equated to $320 that the company had to dish up toward my 401K.

A match of 1.25% for years 1-5 has always been pathetic, especially when the top brass is raking in millions in bonuses. When Phil and others retire, they will be sipping endless margaritas in Tahiti while you will be wondering where your next meal will come from.

It's really hard to believe that management is kicking and screaming about paying only average wages and medical/retirement benefits.

wasnt the nmb supposed to meet today to discuss how long it will be before we talk with the company again?

This will be covered on the call tonight. The NMB met yesterday and also meet thurs as far as I know. Our case should be reviewed at one of the meetings. I haven't heard a peep so you guys aren't missing any info. MEM guys can expect a detailed email of where we are and where we are going and where the reps stand on the issues. It's an easier process after the company has made a couple actual proposals.

Now what....!!
 

NMB has put us on ice, now what? Do we continue on the same path we have been or its now time to take matters into our own hands..... WE NEED A CONTRACT! The pilots now have to take another 5yrs of beating from this draconian management!!! 9E sucks big time!

Back on ice?

Ouch!

Just make sure to fly REALLY safe while you wait.
