An airline is more than its pilots.
And a car without an "engine" is just a bunch of parts.

An engine without a car is a generator.

The only reason XJT continues to shrink is due to the fact that Skywest will not let XJT into the contract negotiations. Skywest has the plan to shut down XJT and that is happening. You need to look at Skywest, not UA for the problems at XJT.

I agree. This Wisconsin announcement is a BIG sign that L-XJT will keep shrinking..

Who saved 5,000 pilots? Parker and Kirby? I'm assuming you're talking about USAirways and American West merger? If so you might want to read up on Bruce Lakefield and the merger (reverse takeover). I do agree with the "hosed by an arbitrator" part.

Happy for the AWAC pilots. Great group.

Problem today is that what's good for one group is usually bad for another. I wouldn't say AW is better than anyone else. We all have the same desires when it comes to job stability and progression

Congrats. Glad it was them and not mesa.

What's that suppose to mean. I never spit on another bother's airline. I'm at mesa we have issues at our respective regionals. But so do you and anyone at ANY airline.

Good for everyone! United just poached a whole pilot group from American.. the competition for pilots is going to heat up.. more money for all of us!

Is it not hypocritical to be complaining about another airline setting up a CPP that doesn't actually even set aside guaranteed spots for the people it is being offered to?



Not what I was getting at at all. Just saying that those who aren't at a regional with a flow/hiring agreement are going to be left holding the bag when all of the new hire slots are spoken for.

Furthermore, this just puts more pressure on regionals like Mesa and Republic to give their pilots a more viable path to the majors.

Aal is going to have more jobs available than the flow can provide.. scratch that.. they will have more jobs than all of the WOs have together...

Follow, no flow, your going to be just fine!
