Please explain NO WHIPSAW.

Also, this website shows pay for the 175 and 190, but doesn't list them as part of the fleet for any of the three airlines. Do any of the three operate these, or are they going to be operating them in the future?

UNDGUY,

As a former UND guy please research what is going on our industry. Pick up flying the line I and II, read different threads and like here ask questions!

Whipshaw means to pit one pilots group (or employee group) against another in orchestrated effort usually by management to gain leverage, or in some cases seek something concesionary (ie a contract, scope relaxation, etc).

Out of curiosity why do you want to fly a E-190? What pay do you think is appropriate to operate that size aircraft? Do you consider it a regional aircraft becuase it is made by a manufacturer who makes regional jets?

It seems many grads from ER and my alma matter UND will do about anything and accept about any pay to fly a jet, and the bigger the better.

There is an excellent article on this website titled "SJS" Shiny Jet Syndrome. I suggest you read it, and let others you attend school with read it. Besides hurting guys like me, you are hurting YOUR future.
