Feb Ops Performance
 

Personally I believe the rise in fuel costs, need to consolidate the airline to one will drive the company to the table. Flying slow and disrupting the passengers will only alienate them from our corner. Did you people not learn anything at all from the summer of 2000? We may have won the battle but we lost the war in a major way.

Great, another pilot who espouses that C2000 is what drove this company into the commode.

January and February numbers are ALL skewed by the fact that weather drove a significant number of cancellations and disruptions. A cancellation still counts as a flight with an on-time rate of "ZERO" but also reduces completion rate.

Those numbers mean absolutely nothing, IMHO.

I guess this is how we're getting our ontime checks every month--exercise emergency authority for an on time push. You see "enthusiasm" every day, though not rising to actual illegality as here. No wonder we need a TPA extension because with pilots exercising this kind of leverage, a JCBA is years away.

Was wondering about that pilot bulletin. It left me shaking my head wondering why it happened and why it happened TWICE?? Captains tired of waiting for that missing reserve FA to come in from home or another flight for reassignment?

How hard is it to just do your job? You don't have to even try to disrupt anything because this operation is self-disrupting if you only do your 100%.

P.S. The company and ALPA both determined that the sinner-jism of a JCBA is pretty much a pittance.

Low and fast my friends. Low and fast.

Those numbers are interesting considering that the new UAL is dead last in the DOT rankings that just came out for 2011. Dead last - "but the numbers don't show a problem".

How are you doing?

It's only Lambourne...just ignore him.

Dallas-Fort Worth-based American Airlines has ranked dead last in customer service in the annual Middle Seat analysis of major domestic carriers.

United Airlines got sacked as well, showing that mergers can create big customer woes. United and Continental Airlines, when combined, scored almost as poorly as American.

The best-performing carrier last year was Alaska Airlines, the smallest among the seven major U.S. airlines. And in a surprise showing, Delta Air Lines scored a big turnaround, placing second in 2011 compared with ninth in 2010.

When you include your major employee groups in a merger and attempt to share the "meal" with instead of leaving them leftovers, you get a much better response. All that comes to mind with UAL/CAL is "let zem eat cake".
