Bit of history here:
In April 2013 we signed a new 5 year agreement with PSA Management.
At the last minute US Airways management threw in a "Career Progression" letter of agreement. This agreement said that they would take 3 people from PSA per month. Our MEC sold this as being the best contract they would be able to achieve and airways was anxious to get this signed because of the potential merger.
Then Airways went to Eagle and offered them a larger RJ proposal. Eagle declined so management came to PSA.
Our Negotiating Committee had talks for 2 months? maybe more maybe less i don't know. They were very quiet about the deal.
Then in Sept we got offered the new TA from Airways management to vote on.
The new deal said that we would get 30plus large RJ's. In exchange for f/o pay caps and Captain pay caps.
We would also have an increase of 4 pilots per month to airways. Actually 48/year. If you get hired in January you may get held at PSA till Dec. But 48 must go in a calendar year.
The 50 seat aircraft may or may not stay. I was told by our NC that the airplane leases were good till 2019, now nobody knows.
We may get bigger airplanes and keep the 200's. Or we may lose 2 200's in exchange for 1 900. (Very bad for everyone).
My crystal ball says that the 200 start to disappear when or if the larger rj's arrive.
