Death of the 50-seaters and the future of ZW.
Does anyone else find it peculiar that we've been hearing about the death of 50-seat aircraft and pilot groups in the past taking concessions to procure bigger aircraft, while other airlines advertise growth and take these same aircraft that have been parked? Especially PDT, taking 145s like it's some big advancement, while Envoy had to rid themselves of this same plane? Commutair too. I realize the 145 is a step up from a Dash, so this is still a net gain from a pax perspective. Just think this whole industry is nuts, that's all. I feel my own company, if they are to stay in business, will be getting larger/newer airframes (AWAC). I also think they were pushing the last TA heavily because it got rid of that pay for larger aircraft. With this in mind I am a solid NO vote on any TA that doesn't increase pay and/or gets rid of pay that is already there.
