There's an interesting undertone from a few of the ERJ ExpressJet guys on here. I don't know if it's a self-conscious thing because your company was acquired (by Skyw Inc.). If it's some sort of over compensation because you have an inferiority complex of some sort (I don't understand why you would). Or, if you are just a couple of jackasses trying to get a rise out of the CRJ guys and create a divide on the ERJ. Goaround, for your sake I really hope you are just trolling. The crap you spew and te dissent you try to create is 1. Not based on facts, what TA are you talking about!? And 2. Is going to do nothing to better this company . Unfortunately there are people who read this stuff and don't know better than to look past the crap you write and realize you are full of it. Nevets. Well, you used to make sense but your delivery these days sounds more like a desperate broken record. I've written you off too.
To those who are either new to this business or new to reading these boards, please take what these guys write with a huge grain of salt. It is this divisiveness and distribution of "facts" by a few people with agendas that will do nothing but drive you crazy and make you angry. That's what they want!
I've met so many ERJ XJT crews this year and I am really looking forward to working along side them in the future. I won't let a few jerks from your side effect my opinion of you, and I hope you will do the same for us.
Look, all that some of us are saying is to let management do their job by tryi to squeeze every cent from us, as they should, and let our JNC take as much from the coffers as they can get their hands on. There is an economical medium that will be reached. In fact, I would bet my house that management already has a top dollar amount that they are willing to negotiate. It's their job to make this company profitable, not ours, at least not in the sense of giving them anything from our compensation or work rules.
We don't want ANYTHING less than what we have. The problem as I see it from my admittedly narrow point of view from these forums is that since the crj guys have an inferior contract, they are willing to live with gains for themselves that would be concessions to the ERJ guys' concessionary contract.
