US Pilots Labor Discussion

[EastUS1]

No matter what list we give the APA, their list will be slotted via RS.

Like I said, they don't care.

You assume but a single list, but no matter. "their list will be slotted via RS." Then joyous bells of celebration should be loudly ringing throughout the west! Ummm.....what's the point in any futile insistence on the nic nonsense then?

You do understand that when you're furloughed you're NOT EMPLOYED by the company, right?

Does that mean you have to send in a new EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION?

This is so entertaining...please keep it up!

First, to answere your question about Australia. Did not fly, learn to spell, or ever visit Australia. But feel free to call me a scab under the definition of I refuse to join a union. Although the scabs at usapa hardly qualify as a union, so....I really don't have a union to join.

The fact that the APA has more money is the reason they are not going to let the usapa scabs jeopardize said money. You are being a typical usapian...you are point blank saying...go ahead and sue...it is somebody else's money...so I can get what I want without repercussion to me. Well think again! You are not going to get the APA sued just because you want to scab the West.


Oh, one more thing. The furloughed APA pilots who have six years of service???? Well the AWA "newhires" would have two things they don't.

1. A job
2. 7 years of service.

I cannot believe you made such an ignorant post. A pilot hired at AWA in say Jan of 2005, now has 7 years of service. Keep making a fool of yourself.

That AWA job was worth far less than an APA job. They have a pension and a B fund. Your crappy contract had none of it, no widebodies either. A guy on the street at APA has a more valuable career than an active west div. pilot.

FL430,

Instead of worrying about other people's spelling, maybe you should focus on how to properly use quote tags.

Said the guy on LOA 93 and with no pension.

I don't want to because now I know that it annoys you.

 

[EastUS1]

Why would I suppress a feature that works 99% of the time and occasionally puts up a wrong word? You old guys need to learn to embrace technology instead of fearing it.

I seem to remember your "indorce" faux pas a few pages back. Or did you conveniently forget that one?

1) "Wey-all Sonny Boy...Mah fuhst 'puter was an' Apple II..ain't bin' 'way from 'puters much since waaaay back then...even hadta' use a few to club them dang dinosaurs with at times!...so...all this hyar' "new" techo stuff really ain't offerin' no big suhrprizes no-how!"

2) Indeed...as well as your going completely ballistic over a single period,....both of those tragic experiences have, of course, scarred me for life!

Might one presume, from your earlier observations, that you're offering a "weak argument"?

 

[Move2CLT]

Does that mean you have to send in a new EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION?

Of course not. I can't believe I have to explain this to you.

While furloughed, do you:

- get medical benefits
- a paycheck
- travel benefits
- accrue longevity
- have an ID


Can you collect UNEMPLOYMENT while furloughed?

You didn't omit the period but, instead, added it. You intended to alter the context of another person's work. Your's was an act of deceit, not and unintended consequence.

Would you like the link to said post?

[FL430]

Of course not. I can't believe I have to explain this to you.

While furloughed, do you:

- get medical benefits

Yes, from the wifes ins policy

- a paycheck

Yes, from the side business


- travel benefits

Yes, on the east anyway


- accrue longevity

Longevity doesnt matter according to westies so it no longer concerns me.


- have an ID

Yes, three. Passport, drivers license, and company ID for jumpseat and pass riding.


Can you collect UNEMPLOYMENT while furloughed?

Maybe , but I don't need it.

 

[Move2CLT]

I don't want to because now I know that it annoys you.

Not really.

But your obvious lack of motivation to use facts to back your arguments does annoy me.

Sure thing "Captain Queeg"..."Ah! but the strawberries! That's where I had them!"

Excellent job FL430.

So you just admitted that when you're furloughed you're not employed by the company.

Thank you.

No I didn't.

Now when are you going to answer my question - Do you have to fill out another EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION?
