3. The TA calls for an increase in 70 and 76 seat aircraft (not as many to offset the loss of the 200's buts its a step in the right direction).
4. You act as if United will forever be in love with your old 50 seat ERJ's. EVERYONE knows 50 seat airplanes are going to be parked and larger RJs are the future, its economics. Hmmmm, isnt ALL of L-XJT's airplanes 50 seaters? I'd be concerned... (dont expect all your 50's to be replaced with larger airframes overnight, when they start shedding the 50's you will be in ASA's position, possibly shrinking)
5. The TA that Delta is proposing isnt out of left field. The wind down of the 200 flying was going to happen, everyone knew it and has for a while.
6. Continental pilots want all their outsourced flying back. Their union (also ALPA) was pushing to retract all your flying pre merger with United. You act as if your contract is iron clad and there are no exceptions that allow for a decrease in your airframes (either a strait reduction or a 2 for 1 or worse, etc type deal). Nothing is certain other than the dumb fat and highest paid pilots in the regional sector usually dont sit there forever. Then have fun on the "street."


Have fun "digging in" and "getting ready for battle." You sound like like a 5 year old kid in a candy store crying to his mommy. Everyone wishes you'd just S T F U.

In my above post I was making a logical observation and drawing some obvious conclusions. Have fun "digging in" though.
