Was pretty weak but no one said anything and I didn't hear any griping. Think about all of they guys on reserve. They gotta work ALOT to break guarantee. Sure they do it, but with like 12-13 days off.

I'd assume it will be about the same when things change. A bunch of guys willing to do ANYTHING to fly a jet. Even if that means having less days off and less pay. You'll see. No one will care. As long as they get their jet to fly and brag to family members at holidays that they are a "pilot". Why waste the email?
Did you just go on a rant about pilots taking the same job you did? You didn't start at XJT make $44 an hour, so what's the difference between them and you?

Yeah, that's kinda what I was alluding to except I don't think it has to be a 200 airframe. As far as I know, the 100 and 200 airframes are identical since there are no 51K planes left.

If I recall correctly, an intermix has an A engine and a B engine, a 200's rudder (25 as opposed to 33), the 100's engine limitations/performance, and I think there's the possibility of a CAS Miscomp status message.

I'm really not sure why they're saying we can't use Aerodata or FMS thrusts. Aerodata has an iMix database for this config.

Sounds like the 200s are becoming the '86 Chevy Caprices of the sky.

Oh wow, we have little to no worries then after the 200s scheduled CR2s leave if this is true. Has this been updated in the 10K or anywhere in writing?
