Exactly how did this turn into an Air Wisconsin vs. Expressjet fight?
The fact is if AWAC gets the 9/11 contract back, it will be better than Expressjet's current contract. If we don't, then contract we are working under now is Top 3 if not right behind XJT's.
AWAC got a good raise in March based in part on XJT's CA payrates. I say thank you for that! Regardless of what happens, I've heard XJT has a MUCH better trip trade/drop/swap system...and anything has got to be better than the piece of sh!t subject-to-screw-sked system AWAC is operating under.
Some of you new XJT FOs need to step away from the koolaid for a second and look at the big picture and last 5 years in United Express history. Air Wisconsin went from flying CRJs, Dorniers & 146s in DEN & ORD in 2002 to 70 CRJs for Airways on the east coast, killing the QOL of everybody on property and effectively causing more than 25% attrition in less than 12 months.
You guys flying an XR doesn't mean sh!t because its still a 50 seat airplane, and there are too many of them right now. XJT is a good place to be, a great airline and great company to work for...but unfortunately CAL put its bullseye squarely on you, just like UAL did with ACA then Air Wisconsin, and DAL is doing with Comair right now.
I have a few friends at XJT, U-I Pilot among them. I don't wish ill on you guys or anybody, and whatever happens, I hope nobody anywhere loses their jobs or gets downgraded.
Good luck to us all, and cut out this piddly infighting, sounding like a bunch of ****ed off schoolgirls fighting over a boy or something...
