My gut feeling is ual wants the pat raises of a new contract faster than the cal guys. Seems like the ual mec was lovey dovey with the cal side when we agreed to hire their pilots from furlough.
My guess is that Wendy will be getting a lot of emails saying "just get this fukxr done!". Our message boards have pages of replies stating "take your time guys, no hurry". We can fly under our contract and our equipment indefinitely. As long as the creep of dozens of ual no scope 70 seaters aren't officially let into our base. Even the furloughed ual guys won't be in a hurry because they will be flying for cal very soon.
Hold on there hoss.... I wouldn't get too righteous about "why can't you get your people going in the same direction". You might want to re-read your magenta line. Doesn't sound like the CAL MEC is exactly unified right now either.
Second, too late. Skywest just opened a 70 seat RJ Houston base. Oh, and UAL just replaced a bunch of 70 seaters in SEA. The shift has begun, and you guys are definitely on the losing end of the flow of 70 seaters. If you guys are smart over there, you'll want what we want. GET A NEW CONTRACT DONE. Get some good raises, improvements in QOL and SCOPE and do it soon.
I'm sick of the he said/she said. Every email, magenta line, and update that comes out like that hurts us ALL in the long run because it takes away from what should be our REAL focus, being unified. BOTH sides are guilty.
