I think you're missing the point. If there is a new carrier to fly for, for example, there will be a transition period where AWA will not be able to provide services for the new carrier until they finish their contract with the old carrier. Then, you must get the Opspecs realigned for the new carrier so you can service their airports etc. The airline will have to pay many of the employees to sit around during that time. Plus, you can't exactly fly UAL flights with AA painted A/C... Finally, much more sitting around time must be paid while you train the employees to operate an entirely different fleet, if that were to happen....

I think Scot Kirby going to United was the single biggest thing that happened for AWAC, he loves RJ's and has canceled their 73 latest order to max out scope. We all know how this story ends, with AWAC getting a new CPA with United based on some contract concessions and new bonus money. At least the pilots will have a choice in the matter.

anyone know exactly what day we need to be on property, or not turned in our resignation by date to be eligible for the may bonus. And will it be paid out on the 15. I am assuming it will be paid in a similar fashion to the one we received in Dec., that is, combined on the 15th check.
thanks
thanks

He was the bean counter at AA that went to United. As soon as he left AA WO got captain bonous's, FO year one jumped $15 bucks an hour and a $10k with 10k per year retention. Basically as soon as he left was when the floodgates opened at AA Wo's
It isn't good for United because first thing he did there was cancel 60 737s they ordered. It should/will be good for AWAC though because he will be/is shopping RJ lift. It's certainly not a home run though, he is an axe grinder and was the tip of the spear for Envoy, PDT, and PSA's 12/4 consessions.
