Thumbs down

EICAS,

You were the one sprouting 'facts' about crewing numbers confirmed for winter et al. Considering I haven't even looked at the Winter crewing numbers yet, cause I don't have a winter program. Since I am the one who passes these figures to management, I suggest you get your facts right first. Dis-information is NOT needed at times like these!!!!

You will be get a four week roster tomorrow, along with a little note about the new website.

As for mud slinging, the crew council were impressed, NOT, over your snide little comments.

Oh, before I go, at least I don't have to hide behind anonymity.

Steady guys, no need for fisty cuffs just yet. If you can how about transfering this little discussion onto the new web site where we can all talk out in the open. Personally I'm a bit fed up with feeling like a temporary ornament and haveing lived with the stress for the last three years I'm looking forward to a time of peace and tranquility. Things were just starting to settle down and then Bin Ladden had to go and do what he did, but then again we are the lucky ones. I here that in the States there are a lot of Pilots out walking the streets, they don't get things like redundancy and 30 days of consultation, over there its a bit like going to the Barbers, Hair today gone tommorow. Its times like this that I wish I had taken the Mortgage repayment insurrance that seemed very expensive at the time.

SO how about using this as a support for guys like me who are feeling a bit down about it all and not some school yard bickering contest.

Luv U'all like a brother.

It's a time for cool heads. I reckon bmi regional will suffer less than mainline. What happened to the squabble about who was first in line to transfer? You'd have transferred straight on to the dole. Count your blessings and have some sympathy for the guys and girl who did go.

Seeing as it's fairly obvious where I'm coming from I would like to confirm that the excrewingbod generally knows what's going on.The numbers quoted by BALPA are meaningless until they are announced by our management to our Crew Council. That doesn't mean they're incorrect but it does mean that until our management tell our Crew Council they are not official. We are supposed to be able to keep our heads under pressure. It's a Goat F*ck of a world right now and the last thing we need is a few headless chickens in the middle of it. Anyone on the 146 who wants to talk give me a call.

I heard they thought about taking a DC 10 but took one look at the FO and sat back down again! The trouble is these ******s can climb stairs.

Talking

Wow..that was all getting a bit heavy guys.
Anybody wanna buy a punchbag?) (snake skin)
Let me say this though...I've been in this situation before except in previous times I wasn't so lucky. Air Europe went bust on me before I was aware of it (and a few other airlines I worked for) Some of the pilots ended up getting jobs like driving the bus from the airport staff carpark to Concorde house (LGW). I reckon BMIR (and probably EasyJ)are about the best places to be right now. I'm not going to pretend I know what's going on in the office, but after being here for just over 5 years, I got a really good feeling that our guys are doing the best they can for us despite tons of uncertainty being thrown at them from all angles, but as I've seen in previous times, when things all get a bit personal, company morale spins out of control, so when the company recovers...the crews don't, and quite frankly, I just want a nice life! Ok that's the serious bit over with. next person on this topic tell us a joke and cheer me up !

Why are there no Aspirin in the jungle?

Because the Parrots eat 'em all.
