Early word is that APA caved on scope and pay. Skimpy raises, loads of 76-seaters and wide-open code sharing. If the early word is accurate, a new sales tour will begin to once again convince the pilots to lick a dogpoop lollipop.......only with frosting this time. :cool:
The company wanted 88 seats in the term sheet, and 79 in the TA. 76 is industry standard and a big win considering we're in BK.
go back to Eagle.

Industry standard where? At 2 airlines? US and DL?

Industry standard at WN and JB sure isn't outsourcing 76 seats. I'd say the fact that a pilot has been convinced that this is industry standard and a "big win" is a big loss for pilots everywhere.

This statement is disturbing. Industry standard? Companies who dont outsource 76 seats are:

SWA

AIRTRAN

UNITED

ALASKA

JETBLUE

SPIRIT

VA

What the hell are you basing "industry standard on"? US & Delta, thats all!

Glad you're not on the APA negotiating team.:mad:

Or are you...?:eek:

His statement is true. All the carriers your listing are low cost who aren't big enough to farm out regional flying. Who also do not hop the pond and are NOT legacy carriers. UNITED does farm out 76 seats too. Those carriers also will never reach the size of places like AA or DL.

So just because a carrier is big enough to outsource (whatever that means?) and flies internationally, it's pilots should accept a crap contract offer?

Yikes.

APAer's - please hold the line on scope.

Turbo props, and theyve been fighting tooth and nail to tighten it.

Negative. CAL scope 50 seats (74 seat props) / UAL scope 70 seats. Not a single 76 seater at UNITED....At least not yet.
