AND no one wants to loose their job, its not even funny to ruffle about. I feel terrible for the COMAIR guys, and trying to wish us the same fate is just sick, but maybe Karma will work it all out. Maybe you need to go watch some 'hey my name is earl'
Dude, we have non-rev ability on United/CAL/US Airways, plus whom ever else that has CASS/ID90's/ZED FARES ect. This includes, wives, family members, companions (girlfriend or other) It's not a huge issue.
Second, I don't wish ill on any pilot group. I just feel that AE is misleading a young pilot crop into the "golden ticket" scheme of getting an AA flow up. Think about it... Before the "golden ticket" AE wasn't getting many applications. Now, they sweeten the pot or so it seems, and they're bombarded with apps. Oh the SJS will wear off when more Q's are brought into the mix and not by us.... There's an order from a north american carrier to order Q400's. Rumor is Trans States and Skywest. It's not us because we need to staff the 9E and Saab flying before we can take on more aircraft.
Watch out Mighty 145's. The trubro-prop is coming to get ya
