I heard it was more geared towards Republic since they were Chapt. 11 plus you really think they'll bring MD 80's to Philly to cover AWAC flying? They'd be more suited for flying some 175 routes not AWAC CRJ routes.
Guess I'll see when they post the Crew News Video on JetNet.

Yes, that couldn't happen I guess. But I head the MD's were staying around because the uncertain future of Republic flying. Piedmont was suppose to be the AWAC replacement but it looks like that isn't going as planned with Beat Up Garbage planes and the inability to recruit and train pilots fast enough.

Ah thanks. Sorry, just a lowly AWAC FO that has very limited interest in AAG. Either we'll fly for them or we won't, and I'll get outa here when I do. One thing's for certain, it won't be at AA.

No worries, dude. I'm in the exact same boat. Simply here to fuel the rumor mill and feed off of the hatred that is the regional airline industry. Imagine what we could do if the energy spent on complaining and bashing each other was channeled into something productive! Alas, where is the fun in that?

I read the most recent "In Touch" email today.
I find it extremely interesting they are going to begin to install ADS-B receivers for our planes. This is required by 2020, at the absolute latest, as part of the NextGen ATC system. If you had zero chance of flying any of these past 2018 *** would you even bother doing this? That would make absolutely no sense at all.
The TA'ing of a lot of sections was interesting after this past weeks negotiating session. I realize these sections were things not related to pay, necessarily, but still shows the company is showing up in good faith to me. The coffee meet and greet with the MEC said they plan on meeting at least once a month after July. That is certainly a hell of a lot more often than they ever did in the past.
As Billyho stated, ultimately, the game plan would for PDT to take over a lot of our flying. Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how much of a collasal train wreck that has become. Everytime I'm in PHL I see these garbage -145s at a gate barely ever flying. Their plan also is predicated on new hires which, let's face it, is a serious struggle for most regionals and, in particular, the AA WO's. Not many buy into the "flow".
Parker can ***** all be wants about how expensive we are, but at the end of the day we do a pretty damn good job in a crazy ass part of the country. All said and done we are still way cheaper than doing it themselves and AA are complete junkies for regional lift.
By the time 2018 rolls around I think you would be pretty ridiculous to just get rid of a 700 some pilot group giving you what you deperately want - cheaper lift than mainline. Time will tell, but I would be pretty damn surprised, especially if no one is in any position to fill our void.
Finally, I cannot imagine why MP would accept the CP job at a place that is shutting down. He has been through the turmoil of ComAir. *** would you willingly deal with that BS again? I've talked to him enough and he is very well respected by many pilots here. Call me crazy, but I trust him. He seems to be a pilots guy.
