The last annual report showed 7 CRJ200s unassigned. Are these the DL aircraft you speak of?
Did they also renegotiate the me too language for the ASA/XJT contract or was that given away as well?
I voted no and believe people would see clearly that the offer was no stagnation and even less a plus in any way. There was a lot of scare propaganda like "look what happened to Endevour and PSA", "Eagle will for sure vote yes" people said and the company was smart and used SAPA after they got SAPA exactly where they wanted. The making it a 1 year thing was a brilliant move from their part, that got a lot of yes votes and actually now when we start the negotiations we start from a lower point than before the vote. They "management" knew we had tons of leverage. We need professional negotiators that can't be used by the company to sell the pilot group a dish and that can see through Managements brilliant moves.
