The arbitrator has reached a decision, and we are very pleased to see that he agrees with our philosophy of industry average compensation, a philosophy that we have consistently applied to all of our work groups. The arbitrator’s decision does make allowance for retroactive pay to our Pilots for CRJ-900 flying, and we will begin that process immediately.
This decision, coupled with our return to industry leading performance, allows us to remain competitive and pursue growth through additional CRJ-900 flying. We appreciate the hard work that you do and thank you for your support.

Subject: CRJ 900 Pay Rates
Date: January 30, 2008
As you know, in December, 2007, we began operations utilizing the CRJ - 900 aircraft for Delta Airlines. Since our pilot agreement does not contain pay rates for this aircraft, we have been utilizing our CRJ-200 rates until any new rates are established. The defined process for establishing rates for flying a new aircraft is contained within the agreement and includes presenting the positions of both the Association and the Company to a neutral arbitrator to review and determine what the rates for a new aircraft should be based on relevant factors in the industry. The arbitrator may rule in favor of either party or, most likely in this case, make his own decision somewhere in between. However, this process can take some time. We will respect the decision of the arbitrator and implement the rates he determines as soon as possible.
In the mean time, we are going to implement the attached CRJ-900 pay rates that we proposed in the arbitration, retroactive to your qualification date. We would have liked to implement these rates sooner but did not do so due to a misunderstanding as to whether we could before the arbitrator's ruling. That misunderstanding was recently resolved.
Consistent with that offered by most other regional airlines, we proposed that the first officer rates be the same for all turbojet aircraft. The captain rates we proposed are approximately 5% to 6% higher that the current 200 rates. When the arbitrator's award is issued, any additional adjustments that may be necessary will be made.
If you have any questions, please fell free to contact your Base Manager.
