AirTran has more SCABS per percentage of workforce of any Airline. Hands down. Mr. ValueJet.

Wow, mr valuejet. That's all you could come up with. I have no love for scabs, but that is one dumba$$ comment. Look around there everywhere. Its amazing how I was still High School when most this crap went down and I have better grasp on it then Mr 767CA.

50-60 out of around 1700 pilots, maybe. Most of the pilots on property now were in grade school or on MIL duty when the EAL strike went down. We've got a pretty young group in general. It usually makes for a fun day of flying with a guy/gal you have a lot in common with. I can't say enough about the folks I've been able to fly with so far, (union issues aside of course).

Re-read Slowly. I said PERCENTAGE, not total numbers.

what ever you want to use mr. nash.

who does the PBJC not know exists??? airtran
who has DAL,UAL, AA/TWA,USA boys and girls happy to be here? airtran
who still has all of there retirement? airtran
who has the lowest SCPM excluding fuel? airtran
who has the youngest all Boeing fleet? airtran
who still gets 10.5 % towards retirement? airtran

To call us a scab outfit today is just wrong. look at CAL and UAL numbers when the had 2000 pilots and see what your percentage is.we still come out ahead. get over it already. where else do expect people to go today?????
UPS window closed
DAL sounds like a freeze
SWA projections have been pulled way back.
UAL. scary to say the least. the boys and girls over there deserve way better than the ride management is offering at the moment.\





so what else do u have to offer????

Speaking about the pilot group, aren't a lot of the senior guys on their list accused of crossing picket lines? I can't type the true name for them.

Some of us get NO matching on our 401K. I'd love to get a 1% match.

No you can always "hope" for anything. If you "accept" mediocrity you are sure to find it.

Good luck with the new contract. As with every pilot contract at any carrier I hope you hit a grand slam. A rising tide raises all boats and it's about time the pilots boats were floating again instead of resting in the mud at the bottom of the lagoon.

No offense, tazzed..but as American finally recalls TWA's Capts and senior F/Os, I would venture that some will leave TRS to return to the evil empire.

On the other hand, TRS has given a good home to many, many TWA pilots and I can tell you first-hand that they are very appreciative of this...very appreciative.
