Legacy XJT pilots have zero interest in PBS and have no patience to listen to ASA lifers complain about it as they take our seats on the ERJ and degradate our quality of life putting many back on reserve.
Have some self awareness to understand it's not all about the way it was done on the ASA side. Those planes are gone. Many pilots are losing pay and days off with their family to keep CRJ pilots employed. The vast majority understand this and are well accepted and welcomed.
A few bad apples spoil the cart for the rest.. Let's not bring back the negativity between the two pilot groups that largely had a big part in giving ammunition to SkyWest shrinking us to the point we are now.
SJ, first off there's no negativity. We are all in this together.
Everybody on the seniority list has suffered.
The ASA PBS system with the language that ran it was superior to line bidding. You credit high, fly less, with lots of days off. Thats what all pilots want.
What should tell EVERYBODY of how good it was is that management hated it. That is the tell tale sign of good contract language for pilots.
Now that being said, if our negotiators are not shooting for the sky then they should all be relieved of there duties.
With the environment being what it is currently. It's time for Mana Air and Untied to pony up.
