Left is their any of the Management team left over after the strike that would actually remember what happend during the strike? The union needs to get back to "Pilot Career Development Program" (PCDP) to assist fellow pilots to find a company that actually values their skill set. I'm hearing the Company told the union to C/D the PCDP! Is this true? We should sponsor a Pilot Job fair!

a) Yes, JS was here during 2010 strike and has an elephant memory
b) Are you seriously asking for confirmation of a cease and desist on an anonymous web forum? You do realize there are better ways to get confirmation of such things, right?

I thought JS was hired in 2011? January, if I'm not mistaken. He used to be on the seniority list.

Hired by JH that summer. I don't recall in what capacity but he was here.

With that said, LeftHanded made a correlation between "senior" and "loyal to management". No such relationship existed...and in the end, all struck and none crossed.

Had actually had a crew telling me how the Union was being pressured to stop the pilot development program we did a few months ago. ??? You know help guys get out of Spirit and move on.

And I believe he started off in the training department.
You are correct. I did not mean to imply loyalty as to be on management side. Rereading what I wrote it looks like I was implying that. I was not. I'm proud of the fact that no one crossed. I meant to say that management's heavy-handed tactics only unified the pilot group even further.
