That's because XJT stands to lose a quarter of its fleet and as of yet has not formally announced what they are doing with them. No furloughs are planned and hiring is continuing and that is GREAT...but its only due diligance to consider the what the loss of those aircraft means.
2 do awac's pilots have a copy of xjt's contract to compare??
Yes, actually I do have a pdf copy of XJT's 2004 CBA - courtesy of XJT's NC Chair himself. It is an excellent contract, very well-rounded providing the highest W2s for 50 seat aircraft. If AWAC gets its 9/11 contract back, with its hourly rates and workrules, we will have the highest W2s. Not that it matters, cuz you won't hear anybody saying "mine is better than yours"...a rising tide lifts all ships. Its just a simple fact.
Like I said, this ain't an XJT vs. AWAC thing...quit making it into one.
