Major slowdown and sick outs needed

[dariencc]

I am a University Profesor and not happy with my hours (80+ per week) and my salary (~ 30% lower than industry).
Why don't I just teach slower (cover less material) don't show up to class, or give no degree to the students (who paid tuition and expect an education)?
I just hope there are some pilots' kids in my class that pay and rely on my professional behavior just like I rely on flights being on time all over the world when I travel (~ 100,000 miles/year on *A).

We don't care about your pay and working conditions. There must be a nice webboard out there where you can discuss professor pay.

The employees in this industry have been raked over the coals enough, and many are ready to push back. You may not like it, but that is the way it is.

Have a nice day, professor.

That’s exactly the reaction I expected and I wanted in my little experiment. Thank you.
I see now the intellectual level I am dealing with here.....
…and remember, I spend probably over $10,000 per year on plane tickets.

The intellectual employees who continue to get you safely from point A to point B only earn about .00001 of what you spend. Thank you

What is very weird about it is that you seem quite pleased with your pointless little "experiment."

We are used to twits coming on here to jerk our chains. It doesn't impress us. Now some clown comes on this anonymous web board and expects us "remember" that he spends 10k per annum on "plane tickets."

Go away and prepare your next animal husbandry lecture. We are not interested in your "intellectual level" or anything else about you. :down:

I guess he flamed out....

Professor not ...TA maybe....

That is part of the reason HP has always done well with this one. Most the people that work for HP live in Phoenix, most our commuters are from Las Vegas. Travelpro, what is the East's commuting policy? I know we can't be late on our commute, have to give ourselves 2 flights. If there is weather or MX we are covered as long as we stay by the 2 flight rule.

Ok, there you are wrong. Tempe tells you there are NO commuters at HP and that is simply not true. At least 30% of our flight attendants are commuters and even more of our pilots are. Tempe refuses to acknowledge that they have commuters!!!! Another lie you have been told about the west!

I guess you dont realize organized sickouts and slowdowns are illegal ask the APA and AMFA about them, cost them both dearly.

Oh, yeah. Just ask the APA. What was it? A huge fine of $40 or $50 million? Of which they have not paid one thin dime (negotiated away...disappeared...magic.) Now the APA is poised to recoup everything they gave up in the dark days following 9/11, and then some. Yeah. It sure didn't work for them. They're shakin' in their boots over how much it "cost them dearly."

nycbusdriver,

Just one more example of how IAM throws in their hand before the flop.

I am West. And where do you get 30%? Most flight attendants do live in Phoenix, Hp employed. I wasn't talking about our pilots, was I? NO. And I was asking TravelPro a question not you.

Like most of the west employees, you are myopic, and will never see the big picture.

30% is a firm picture of commuters. Ask your base managers. But then, maybe you are avoiding the BMs. I hear they are asking questions about you. Why might that be?

Professor,

I have spent up to $20,000 a year on my kids college education, but there was no guarantee where you were going to land them. The intellectual level that you snobbishly elude to in airline employment is quite diverse. There are highly educated employees in departments, that because of stereotypes, you would not expect. Your stereotyping airline employees is a safe haven for you because it is politically correct.

I have paid thousands of dollars to watch you and your peers during graduations, pat each other on the back and hand yourselves accolades. Then you describe your future sabbatical, after you had one half of each year off to begin with. Then when you have time you award my child their sheep skin. (Please do not comment on the sheep part AWA320).

To be perfectly frank sir, as an airline employee, kiss my ass.

It cost them six years of concessions while AA Management gets bonuses.

Don't let the facts get in your way!

Cost them dearly? Both still have their pension. Both make more than the majority of other carriers. Those are the facts. I'd say the "illegal" job action did precisely what it was designed to do. Sort of like the NWA pilots.

Of course it is illegal. And no pilot from LCC would ever consider doing anything illegal. Just to make sure everyone knows. We will follow the book to the letter of the law.

your intellectual level must be fairly low then. 10 grand is way too much. I suggest you try jetblue or southwest. you could save some money.

i love academics. they live in the theoretical world. that world is substantially different than the one most airline employees live in.
