RAH CEO's letter stated that he is looking forward to re-engaging the IBT Local and find a contract that works for both sides, how long and how motivated will the company be remains to be seen.

EXJ, I believe they are due to re-engage with their management in the coming week(s).

Silver, I am not sure where they stand in the talks, but it is my understanding that the attrition is mainly coming from the FO ranks as they bail for PSA and Mesa. Right now their management has decided to seek a higher bonus for new hires.

Eagle, management did a whole lot of talking before the vote and during, but have gone silent since. We were threatened with airplanes going to other carriers immediately and that the deals were basically done. AE CEO satiated that the process was almost complete but he got AAG to not award the flying until AE completed the vote on the TA that was built upon the AIP that failed at the MEC level. Almost two weeks have gone and they haven't awarded the flying. Some say that they don't have anyone to take on the flying on their terms (cheap) and other say that they are just waiting to make the announcement. Time will tell.

CommutAir, they enhanced the contract to attract new hires and contrail attrition, we shall see how this all works out.

***Time will tell, I think right now there is not just a waiting game between regional management and their pilot groups, but also between mainline;s management and what move they will make next. Will AAG return to AE, will Delta do something about Endeavor's contract and attrition problem or will United do something with SKW inc. There are many things in flux and is hard to predict how things will turn out, for the mean time I expect management teams to continue trying to grow the lower cost regionals.
