I think the point he's trying to make is that CAE is pretty un-commutable. For ORD FO's/CA's, there's only 2 direct flights a day total...on company CRJ's, so that's not a lot of seats available. I dunno, just my 2 cents that are worth what you paid for them.

Looks like XJT was awarded 20 CRJ200s to be placed in ORD to cover AW flying.

Yep
They have also just announced an Ord base to cover the flying.
20 CRJ 200’s that AWAC was supposed to operate.
They won’t be able to get this flying back once xjt takes it over.

Weve hired alot of people who came here for an ord or iad base. Now theyre going to be sent to cae where they will have to come a day early and go home a day late while paying for 8-10 hotels out of their own pocket. Thats going to run alot of people off who will go to envoy or skywest. Its going to be incredibly difficult to recruit.

But wait if you call a recruiter right now they can double the offer and let you get paid for trip and duty rigs all while waiting on a new contract that we are in the cusp of.

What is your source that AWAC was suppose to get those?

I assume it was flying out of ORD that AWAC can't cover, with 50 crews removed from various bases to staff trips starting and ending in CAE starting October. I don't think we were slated to get 20 more CRJ's. Reshuffling the deck, and moving towards outstation/MX base domiciles.

I believe the CRJ's for XJT are coming straight from SKW, so they are hand-me-downs from big brother.

Over on the XJT board they are excited and are hoping they get 100% of your flying... Pretty sad..
