There is no shortage. We've been able to fill classes thus far and more than likely continue to fill classes. Comair is a great source for pilots. I'm not denying a shortage, I'm saying it's not here right now.

Do you have proof or is this something you've heard? Link/source/PDF? There is a lot of language in many contracts, any way it can be worked around?

But the truth is that 95% of line pilots on both sides want to get this merger done and dusted and end up with the best for both sides.
They only people who've even dropped the word concessions is LXJT. I'm not for a concession and I believe many of our LASA guys will not accept cuts. Do I believe you'll receive the money back from your VOTED IN concessionary and MORE, absolutely not.

Some junior LXJT have voiced they were in no hurry because we were loosing 200's. They didn't want to be furlough protection. I agree the United TA will turn some heads. I believe JA will do more than that!

I don't believe one person has mentioned the word "bought" or "buy" in the last three pages of this thread. We were simply talking about contract negotiation progress.

You might want to look around a little at the industry around you....
Agreed as stated above.
