Let's make a wrong thing right
They will love our contract and, laughably, we get paid more to fly the 200 than they do the 550. Lol, while we are middle pack for pay. What scabs...

Not exactly something to be proud of imho.

Now, maybe we should add more categories, fair enough, but my comment wasn't about that. It was about being good at what we do.

This contract was signed less than 2 weeks ago, so clearly you’re not informed on what’s going on around the industry. AW flies the oldest UA 200’s of any contract carrier. That’s not good for you buddy.

I'm not saying I wouldn't like different airplanes, but again, if you'd read what I had been saying, we are very competitive in our category. We could be competitive in others as well.

Nearly a thitd of your operation is facing the same survival problem as us. You're almost certainly going to be a smaller airline with the loss of that flying.

OO will be a net positive of >1700 pilots by the end of 2022.
It is unfortunate, but you’re “category” is already slated to disappear.
We’re reading what you’re saying, so try reading what everyone else is saying…..
AW a single customer contract (UA only) for a customer that has explicitly said that your aircraft is going to disappear soon.
JFK said it best, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
