Alternates

They are the ATL alternates we have been asking for months. Of course they probably haven't been added to ops specs. All of these cities are already served my major carriers. Just a good plunging point if you're holding at LGC.

More like almost a year.

Glad to see we finally have charts for these airports.

Got a nice call from EK this morning about doing an exit survey, I was truthful with him on why I left. I explained the lack of commutability and pay, he seemed interested and even asked about where I'm at and how pay is here. Seemed pretty cool about the whole situation and I really hope that him doing all these exit surveys will help you and the rest of the pilot group out.

Did you mention the other real issues Gulfstream has? How many pilots have left Gulfstream?

It will not make a difference. Had the same survey from the union and company when I left months ago and since then over 20 pilots left and nothing has changed. Bad Management, get rid of Shrek (CP) and re structure and then you might have an incentive.

How's it going in your new company? Did you get LGA based?

How come I didn't get a call from EK. I guess they just really didn't care about me. Oh well. Life goes on.

So we have 1707.5 Hours of pilot open time in the system for September. That's about 20 lines worth, assuming 85 hours lines.

If nobody picks up open time at all or those that do, only do it at 200 percent I have a feeling it would get management to amend our pay scale quicker than they are now. Many of you know about the individual that said he would fly open time at 300% and in turn got a hostile email from Alex. This guy is a great example of what more people should be doing. This is a good way to get the attention of management on to the pay issue AND route out someone like Alex that was hated bitterly at his previous airline. His abuse and complete disregard for the contract has gone on too long.
