I do not directly have a dog in this fight (mesa, XJET, or AirWisc) but some people on here do live the double standard.
Flying shifted from XJet to Colgan = Bad?
Flying shifted to XJet instead of Air Wisc is Good? Even though AirWiskey would not give more concessions to secure the flying?
If Newarkblows truly cares about the profession he would have wanted this flying to go to the airline who would refuse to take further concessions to secure flying (AirWiskey).
But whatever...I'm going to get drunk and play Call of Duty
Dont take it out on me that you work for an airline with no respect for its pilots. You signed up for that one.
If you understood how different regionals stack up you would know that AWAC and XJT have very different contracts but very similar end results. Both companies have strong contracts, similar pay, and each has strong and weak points in the contract. We really are very similar when it comes to compensation and QOL. While you can throw pay rates against each other in a straight comparison it will do you little good when you look at the big picture.
CAL-XJT-CJC = bad. UAL-Mesa-XJT = not great but better.
As far as AWAC being asked to take a pay cut. I really think it was a management ploy for contract negotiations. "see we didnt get the bid because we are too expensive." It was between XJT and TSA in the end. TSA employees are not treated well.... so how did xjt win??? hmmmmm
