My 2 cents: At this point if we ever want a JCBA I don't see what's wrong with having different pay rates, QOL items and bidding systems whether you fly an ERJ or a CRJ. Then you can choose not to bid from erj to crj etc.
The well has been so poisoned by now that the ERJ side will never accept any loss of retirement, LTD coverage etc to "help out" the ASA side to improve the overall contract like the TA proposed.
Attrition is so high that hiring and upgrades are starting up again. It's time to agree to disagree and move on, otherwise we stay as we are, I think most ERJ guys are comfortable with that.
