The only thing now is to run with a skeleton crew and have management make bonus!! I would not be surprised if Pncl starts furloughing.... they have been riding this fake wave of bliss now the surf has died down and panic mode is just now being activated. Let us not settle on a contract like MAG pilots did.. lets get what we deserve before we allow manangement to continue riding us dirty!
I have to say that I'm confused here.... we knew we weren't keeping the Freedom birds (who'd want to, they're hanger queens), and unless someone in management is smoking some major crack, they knew that as well. They were only meant as a "stop-gap" measure while deferring delivery on the remainder of the 16 PNCL-owned CRJ-900s, which are now starting to show up on property.
