Default AAG places new Group 1 aircraft order

Coming to your base soon... I predict by the end of the year. Locks in rates well below our peers for similar aircraft.

I sure hope so. More mainline flying coming back, at rates much higher than they used to be. Now new hires are making almost double what I made. Lucky SOB's.

Que the "they're going to park 250 A319's" crowd in 3...2...1...

On a side note, thread titles like this should be moderator cut.

Yep. Exactly right. Here comes the perfect storm. Next ten years will be hell. And to think the work rules will be so bad again for another decade is just too much for me right now.

I think they are parking 320s this year, older ones obviously.
I think yes and no voters agree this scenario could happen regardless of the end result

Let's hope for the best.

Difference now is there's no chance at all of discussing improvements. Please don't write let's hope for the best. Makes us all sound like lemmings.

Yeah, the POS west ones. Good riddance!!

And refurbishing all the 319's and taking delivery of more.

If anything were going away due to Group I it would be the 319, yes?

Can't believe we are still hashing this out...

Doesn't the JCBA pay group I significantly more under the JCBA vs the MTA? An aircraft order could have occurred either way.

And for all those who ***** and whine about everything and would like to be just like our Delta counterparts, you oughta pack your fu&$@%# bags and go work for Delta already. You aren't being held hostage here.

I'd be happy to give you one although I'm sure it doesn't help me any.
