Parking more Dash 8

We are schedule to park 2 or 3 dash 8 this year. Fleet size will be 39 things don't look good for the piedmont crews. We need to hear good news soon. Lines are getting shorter, planes are falling apart, moral is at an all time low no hub bases. The New American is here. Guess what, the same airline wih a cheap logo.

Lines with 72 and 73 hours of credit in CHO (gurantee is 75). Time to rethink my bidding strategy and update my apps. Vote with your feet gentlemen.

Ouch, might as well bid reserve if you live in-base. Back up to 28 lines+2 build-ups in ROA.

Maybe you'll get Eagle's CRJ-700s. Or they'll go to brown streak and they'll absorb you guys.

I wouldn't call it ignorance. Unprofessional maybe? But you PSA yes voters act like we all missed some gem in your new contract, like we just don't understand why it was such a great deal and need to be educated. I have the language. It was a bad deal and you jumped at it and sold the whole profession out in the process, and your big excuse was that you needed to do it to save your jobs and improve career progression.
