ENY can’t staff the planes they have now, let alone 20 more from us

That’s the whole issue of moving any flying from one regional to another right now. No one has any excess capacity right now. Republic, Skywest and Endeavor don’t have any extra capacity either. It is going to take time for any of them to take over any new flying.

Which is why we need to remember how valuable we are.... Timing is probably a big factor but it seems that if a pilot is moving laterally to another regional they are in a position to ask a lot of questions in the interview. They need us badly. Don't forget your value.

So AA sale confirmed? Compass staffs LAX as a 4th AA WO and that’s how Envoy “gets” LAX.

So uh... Is Moxy back on the table?

We are all typed, and the last line "has said the carrier likely will be based near a technology center other than Silicon Valley" has a SEA based guy wondering about the Amazon/Microsoft/TMobile trinity as a tech center. Also, last trip through the school house had me hearing "don't be so sure" more than once when I joked about about being an ex-SEA guy.

One can always hope...;)

Yeah that would be nice. The comment from the phone call really got me though. Someone asked about the announcement being made this year and the response was something to the extent of "well that's a loaded question". Makes me think we are actually quite a ways away from hearing anything. And the comment saying "we could afford to lose some pilots". Just doesn't have me as optimistic as I used to be.

Which is quite the contrast from the whole “the other party was completely on board with us going public with the announcement” when they announced the DL cancellation. Some things just aren’t adding up anymore.
