Watch for the threats of parking airplanes unless we take a hit in Pay Negotiations this fall. Even though we got the planes on order they are going to use them as bait material for concessions.
Really!?!? Only 1 guy gets it?
This is only an announcement for 40/100. Plus, they have options for 100. Anyone who doesn't think these will be used as management "carrots" to lure ALL SKYW, Inc pilots into accepting concessions is either ignorant, naive, or has zero memory. Wasn't ASA getting the first 900s, anyone? anyone? The email has already come out with management basically saying no growth at ASA or XJT unless concessions. I'm sorry, I mean "cost competitiveness". Plus, the threat of aircraft exiting the CPAs starting this fall. Deja vu all over again I guess.
