PNCL pilots are our brothers! Unity?

Just an outsider looking in. This industry is unfortunately viewed by our brethren as a result based system. If someone went to Gulfstream and it worked for him, why couldn't it work for himself. I'm not agreeing with Gulfstream but that's the logic, and I can also see that side of the argument. I also find it laughable that some go to work for McDonald's wages and then bash others who pay to work and that's viewed on two different sides of the spectrum, when really, they're real damn close.

So give the choice between being paid $13,000 and PAYING $13,000, you see them as a coin toss? Maybe it's time for required math course for the private?

I have it on good word that the Gulfstream Training Academy has been shut down by the new Gulfstream Airline owners. They are going to run an airline--not a training academy from now on.

If they did, it might be enough to convince me to actually finish my commercial. Out and back to TPA would be a nice life.

But how long do you think you'd last commuting to $18/hr in Bradford, PA? :)

I wouldn't base a career decision on a base/schedule at a single airline. I flew with a captain who was super-senior in ATL when we had a base there, flying three locals a week for excellent pay (for a regional), spending a ton of time with his wife and kids. ATL shuts down, and now he's commuting to 4 day trips 800 miles away.

Here's some math, I more then double Lake's pilots flying a 402 around, in this scenario my math works.

Good point. Honestly, I'd probably walk away. But I'm fortunate to have another career to fall back on.

And I make more than the top Mistakes CA as a stupid RJ FO. This and your statement have nothing to do with my question. Let's try again.

The question was, by your logic, being paid 13k or paying someone 13k is a coin toss. Back to our program!

This argument is just going to roll around in circles and not get anywhere but I'll try one more time. If you can bash someone for going to Gulfstream which in this scenario is a net of 26K then I can bash someone for working at an airline where I net more then 26K more then them bopping around in either comparable or smaller equipment.

"SLI Update: May 24, 2011

As you know, yesterday morning Arbitrator Bloch requested an updated seniority list from each Merger committee. After those updated seniority lists were exchanged, the Mesaba Merger Committee found numerous discrepancies in one of the other airline's seniority list that, if left uncorrected, could have had serious implications.



Your Merger committee has an obligation to ensure accurate data is used in the construction of the seniority list that will accompany Mr. Bloch's decision. The discrepancies apparent in the other airline’s updated list were identified and questioned, which in turn highlighted a few issues that must be resolved before the lists can be combined.





Unfortunately, this has caused a delay in Arbitrator Bloch's award. This evening Mr. Bloch has stated that he hopes to release his award before the end of this week. Since the onset of this process, your Merger Committee has placed the accurate representation of seniority list data as a top priority, and this priority has not changed. We will provide you with another update tomorrow."

Were these "discrepancies" intentional?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Colgan. Our "planning" department has a hard time tracking who still works here. I know of a few guys who are on our current list, but are gone. To include one guy in our top ten.
