I am listening to the pilot conference call and I can't believe people are still asking about our future...people asking why to stay at ASA (XJT) and we are still getting the same answers we were getting three or four years ago.
"...still working on a career progression program with Delta...nothing to announce now...but still working at it..."
"...Going to GoJets now would be a risk"...REALLY? Staying at ASA is a HUGE RISK!!
People...listen UP!!! If you are not at the upper 20% of the seniority list it's time to move on...NOW, even if it's to ENVOY, PSA, GoJets, whatever...Time to go!!! If you are in your 20s, 30s, or even early forties, you could go to Envoy tomorrow, be at American in four years, and have between 20 and 40 years at a legacy depending on your age. Logging more CRJ time at ASA is doing no good to you any more. Starting over sucks, but it's better to start now, on your own terms...instead of waiting until you get displaced or furloughed.
Do the math: 1300 pilots - 400 pilots = 900 pilots. Where will you fall on that list by December. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
