As someone else mentioned, our wages are snapping back to pre Ch11 wages and our work rules support the pay. I'd much rather have a slightly lower wage with solid rules to support them than a high wage and the ability to watch them wash away without work rules. Nobody at XJ sent ourselves, our contract or our brothers down the river for these jets. I know... it's hard to deal with the reality.
Oh... Liog41 - we staff at about 9 pilots per plane.
lol. you say stuff like that and its "reality" , but he says it and its a cheap shot. get over yourself. our 900 rates are the way they are because of YOU. we had no say in our 900 rates. the only thing our 900 rates are based on is what everyone else was flying them for. and dont worry, when pinnacle buys mesaba after all of this is said and done we will still be brothers.
after all, we all know that when anderson builds up an airline, its only to make it look good to a potential buyer. let the bidding begin!
