I was seriously considering Air Wisconsin until CAE became a reality. I was looking forward to driving to MKE until I could hold ORD. So much for that.

If your goal is MKE and you can drive to work there, AW makes all the sense in the world for you. But if you need ORD for commuting, then yes there may be better options.

No guarantee it’s “just a few months”. Ask all the people that were “never going to sit reserve in ORD” how well things worked out when MKE opened. Plus the new reality of indefinitely commuting to CAE in order to upgrade. There’s no reason for MKE/ORD folks to come here when they’re going to get exiled to CAE for god knows how long. Maybe they get lucky and hold MKE out of training, maybe they don’t and are now stuck commuting to a base with terrible airline service, no crashpads, expensive hotels, and likely uncommutable schedules.

Not to mention we are 8+ years into contract talks WE are 110% ready to strike! We just need a union to start doing its job. Most of us don't give 2 sh##s about this place. This place does not give 2 Shi#s about us also!
WHY waste your time here?

Hate to burst your bubble but if Frontier can't get released no one will.

With only 51% voting no, I don’t think we will be striking anytime soon. You can blame that on the retention bonuses the pilot group never voted on, and the 49% that voted YES.

Our FA’s on the other hand are a few months away from a strike.

Exactly. 2 votes shy of yes isn't going to cause a strike.

I agree we are no where near a strike, and it would probably never happen. Just hoping for a little rally cry from union, maybe we could unite and do something? Lets not sit back and do what we have for years, which is NOTHING. So the point is...if you want NOTHING come here as a new hire. Express Jet will be getting E175 and this place gets nothing! We might have 4 years left on our CRJ-200 flying.
