Sounds like a liberal democrat wish list.
I don't go to your church and I am not related to you. YOUR not my brother. Collective group pilot or not. Don't include OO pilots in YOUR wish list.
Comair never lined up and merged with ASA. You chose the company you fly for not me or anyone else. Don't try and ride the Skywest coat tails of success and think you should deserve anything close to DOH. To think any xjt pilot should even be able to bid into one of Skywest pilots bases is absurd. Again, If you chose xjt you chose IAH, EWR, and Cleveland. Your not entitled to bid on SBA or PDX or any other base.
The Cash that OO Inc. made and will make is profit from OO inc. management and current workers.
If you are bought, then plan on staying in IAH, EWR and cleveland. Don't expect any merger of seniority, You don't deserve one. If you want to battle with ASA for an ATL base and seniority there then knock yourself out.
The majority of OO pilots don't want your routes, planes or problems. Keep them for yourself.
Wow...where do I begin? Its not the SKYW pilots buying anything its JA and the SKYW BOD. No one is asking to be catered to, but it would seem a bit unfair to have SKYW pilots flying for CAL and booting 800 pilots to the street and offered an interview to start all over. What do we bring to the table? We the pilots of XJT did not ask JA and the SKYW BOD to go to CAL and work out a new CPA that effectively cuts 1/4 of our pilots and abrogates our CBA. While our company does have some serious financial issues to overcome, this entire industry is in the same boat as fuel cost rise, we were content to work through on our own. No handouts asked for here. You say that you go to church...huuumm I thought the bible implored us all to be our brothers keeper? I kind of live by a simple rule..treat others as you would want to be treated and this has served me well over the many years. This buyout is beyond any of control, but we can if it happens work with civility and respect for our coworkers. There will always be disagreements and that is why I think it is in everyones best interest to at least talk. To the majority of pilots at SKYW that don't want our planes, routes and problems, on that we are in agreement. We too would like to keep them ourselves. Not busting on you...just trying to provide for my wife and kids.
