People mad at pbs, mad at quality of life, working an insane amount, reflows,and embarrassed when comparing our pathetic aggrement to the 9e and Rah contracts. If this is supposed to be a slower month, coupled with the email a few weeks ago saying "with lower block hours people will have more time off...", and then the email begging us crj pilots to work on days off due to critical staffing needs, are we screwed when spring comes and then the busy summer season? Our competition and cancel numbers have been pretty bad lately. Just hoping that somehow something will change for the better. Haven't heard any rumors
I've seen the opposite. I've been on both aircraft and a multitude of bases. As a sweeping generalization- West coast ERJ? Life is pretty good. Midwest CRJ? Not so much... Quality of trips, legs per day, soft pay, adequate reserve staffing, ability to drop or trade, etc. is SO different from LAX ERJ to DTW CRJ. Almost like a different airline altogether.
