Yet, some of you say that most of us are drooling over the sight of a shiny new 190. Very far from the truth. But again, if the 190 shows up on a person's pairing, they fly it or lose their job (unless it's technically considered struck work and I haven't met anyone yet that will put themselves in that position). .
So I expect to see those E190 only being flown by pilots that have been displaced into them, because no-one is going to bidd into the postion... Then I expect to see all those displaced pilots call in sick or drop the flying... Snice of course..."...

RIGHT!!! You guys have no back bone and have sold out to fly these planes! This is just like the GoJet thing... only differant names!
BTW. Here are the DAL 2nd and 12th year CA and FO rates on the E190 for 1/2010. (the rate increase 4% each Jan. plus pilot get and additional 11-14% of pay added to retirement accnt)
CA E190 2nd-$99 12th-$108
CA E195 2nd-$117 12th-$127
FO E190 2nd-$54 12th-$74
FO E195 2nd-$63 12th-$87
And IMHO DAL's rates are BAD if JetBlues new rates are factual...
