Right now the best thing we can do is try to figure a way through this together. I’m a CRJ guy and I disagreed with the grievance. I do, however, find the last group of upgrades on the LXJT side to be fishy.
But it is what it is.
Hopefully it will soon no longer be my issue, but I will still hope against hope that the group survives.
Reading the ISL agreement I see that not displacing ERJ pilots was part of the agreement so I'm not sure why our guys were fighting that. If thats the "bad news" then so be it; that was part of the plan anyway. Like someone else said, far worse could happen.
