I think all the USEX guys and gals (wholly owned and not) are on the same page with lengthy negotiation periods and the need to come out of the concessionary decade that has passed... Our companies should be good places to work, but unfortunately it's becoming tougher to convince someone that they are... All of us have value. I stand behind you guys as you wade through negotiations.
Yes, CLT is probably one of the only beneficial aspects of PSA vs. some other carriers. The most JR line holder can hold all commutable trips, depending on where you're coming from ofcourse.
I know that our negotiators sit in on AWAC negotiation session, and vise versa. Hopefully that will lead to a higher standard for all US EX pilot groups. Ofcourse, we have alot further to go just to catch up with AWAC current book. Last I heard PDT management locked out PSA and AWAC from negotiations, but hopefully that's changed by now.
BTW, with all the flying you guys picked up in CLT and we picked up in DCA, it wouldn't suprise me if you did get a CLT base at some point.
