I don't want to belabor the point, but some people ran into this issue and were sad to learn from their status reps that those JRMs counted. Their names appear on the excess JRM list.

Our work rules as a whole are nothing earth shattering. Here is my stance on the topic at the bottom of this post.

I keep hearing guys asking for jetway drivers, fuel, paperwork, 2nd and 3rd calls for mx, negotiating for a gate that is clearly open when told to hold for one that is occupied.

If you called on the ground they know you need rampers and a jetway driver. If they cannot communicate that and get people in position it's not your problem.

If you are there and the plane is there they know you need fuel and paperwork. If it shows up 5 prior it's not your problem.

If you called mx once for an open write up, they are aware.

If there are five gates open and they want you to hold 30mim for the one that is occupied then go ahead and let the clock run.

This operation has been highly dependent on the pilots micromanaging everyone to get the job done. If people are too incompetent to do the job they were hired to do or the systems and infrastructure are not in place to allow them to do their job, it's not our responsibility to get it done and the company clearly is not interested in compensating us for or does not currently understand our value as professionals.

I think too many of us are in the regional/scumbag cargo mindset to just accept shortcomings and get it done. If we want to be compensated like the legacy pilots we need to act like legacy pilots.

Further, the pay/retirement/scope/ltd gap is getting shockingly wide at most longevities. If your gap is 75-100% don't lowball yourself on the survey. You need to be asking for that and not settling for less. It's not greedy, it's fair. It's a crazy number to have to write but it's not crazy because you are asking for something too high, it's crazy because we are compensated so low.

If they want to say we need work rules to match the legacies if we want compensation to match and if they say we need to give up transition conflict then they need to show me they are serious. Offer us the entire United contract word for word with no adjustments or editing and then I know they are serious. We do not have some qol that is worth a $100k concession every year. For most of us our qol could be close to, matched, or better under legacy work rules (AA is an outlier).

Management: offer us the United Pilot Agreement and we can get this done tomorrow I bet. Otherwise you and for that matter the negotiating committee and MEC are not interested in a fair deal for both parties.

In the world of CEO salary it didn't seem too crazy to me. How much free stock did he get is the question. Ben got free flights for life haha. I doubt we will ever see him on a spirit plane again

If our CEO's can make more than SWA's Gary Kelly, our rates should be at least equal to SWA.

Actually there is a way to print it. If your printer is Epsom, then download their app and log into the Internet with their app and you can print Any page that's on the screen to your printer whether it's my 365 or whatever. Works great! Check your printer brand and download their app. It works!

Follow the contingency procedures for EFB failure (as described in paragraph 5.1.4 on page 44 of the EFB manual) to download the bid package from the comply365 site using your safari browser. Your login to comply365 is your RA userid and password.

Once you get the bid package or manual on the safari browser you can then use normal iPad procedures to print the document or open in a PDF reader, etc...

Company and N/C meeting on the 14th.


I bet "significant progress will be made however a large disagreement will remain when it comes to things like, pay, retirement, conflict etc........"

Also, for anyone that's been reading how new hires have been failing etc, Maybe, just maybe the company shouldn't be pushing for guys who've never flown a 121 airliner to teach all the way up to right before FFS#1. Moose Jaw is a great guy but he has no business teaching FTDs

How many days will they be meeting to make said significant progress?


Parity for all or it isn't parity at all

There is apparently a grievance filed over using the ground instructors for "flight instriction". The company is defining flight instruction differently than Alpa. Why the MEC hasn't communicated this to the group is beyond me.

The meeting on the 14th is said to be to set the course for negotiations going forward. I did not understand it to be a meeting to actually negotiate anything. It's essentially a meeting about a meeting.

Have you seen my stapler?
