Not possible as all of our crew rooms require a Delta badge and a personal access code. I can't even escort my family into our crew rooms.

I'd pick another example.

Making a lateral move but not to a WO. Not a fan of the AA product

The seniority lists elsewhere just aren't getting any shorter and the aircraft aren't getting any younger. Something like 8 planes were out of service this morning. Even if we do inherit PSA -200's, barring some significant development on the contract side, who's going to stick around to fly them? I considered myself a hanger-on until this week, but those days are done.

The small crew room in DCA is not shared among other mainline or express partners. AFAIK It is our old ready reserve room that got converted to hold 8 people instead of two when someone screwed up our access to the mainline crew room down the hall. The only thing we share with PSA (in DCA) is the same paintjob on aircraft. Sorry guys.

What do you think would happen if I walked into a Delta crew room?

Actually it was the original crew room. Then it was converted into a RR room. Then that was moved upstairs next to the other crew room.

For those interested, I put together an analysis of regional pay across the 12 major regional airlines. Some of it is no surprise, but there are a few shockers. Check it out, and shoot me a message if you've got any questions with regards to the wo's (I'm about halfway through my time at Envoy). Good luck folks. Keep the blue side up.

Just flew with a brand new FO from AWAC. He said he left because he thinks the company will cease operating aircraft in 2018...no future in it for him.

No problem. Give it a shot and see what happens.

The greater point is that the security at other airlines, and I used Delta as the example that was offered up, is much better for our crew rooms so this problem doesn't exist.

I'm sorry if that went over your head.

I flew with a former military guy this trip. He actually was very good and handled the plane very well.
I asked him why he was here. And he said "Give me a few months to get comfortable in the airline business. I'm originally from the Atlanta area, so I know where I will be applying soon."
