please fact check a little before making possible damaging comments fellow airmen.
First: I'm receiving an award for playing my ukulele for pax during a gate delay. We should always take care of our pax. This has nothing to do with company or union issues.
Second: the dues I owe amount to $60 and are from a previous airline. The situation is a misunderstanding and is being rectified. I have paid 100% of my spirit union dues!
So again fact check before you start your rants boys.

If we weren't in contract negotiations for two years with no end in sight, and if our pay wasn't close to half of what it should be, I'd applaud you.

But we are, and it is, so I won't. We're never going to get a contract.

Also not sure which TOTD nomination should be. The ukelele or accepting he award from a company that couldn't care less about you

What is a ukalayle(sp)?

twentyretardten 03-08-2017 04:00 PM

Do you have to play (use) this 'youkelele' instrument at this awards event?

Fact is you're going to accept a circle jerk award from a company that is holding up pay raises for this entire pilot group, at any cost. You planning on playing your little guitar at the ceremony? Maybe Jyri's favorite song?

Great you take care of the pax, going to that event, at this point, is junk. Plain and simple.

One award for something like "Pilot of the year" is going to ET, our Environmental Standards Committee Chairman. I would argue he is the main reason why the company has/is doing anything about our fume events. His work is much appreciated. People were wondering if he would accept the award or refuse to attend. I guess he is attending and accepting. If it were me, I would not attend, out of solidarity I could not attend a circle jerk company event. Its his decision and in no way does it change how I feel about the work he has done on behalf of the pilot group.


Now....TS, the DFW CP never paid ALPA dues at Eagle. And I heard he was on a payment plan with ALPA. If he has stopped making payments, he needs to be expelled off the seniority list. Pretty simple it seems like

Thanks, I had no idea what was going on. Now I do!

My side hurts! LMFAO! I would ask to go into the witness protection program if I was the FO. Sorry Bro it's just really strange you felt the need to break out your instrument in front of the passengers!! LOL

If you did it for the PAX then why are you accepting an award from the company? Tell them you want more money instead.
