So maybe they're already staffed for CRAF flying?

So if we're going to increase CRAF flying and use the 747s, how do you staff for that? I'm assuming you can't build lines a month in advance for it but at the same time you'll need the people so do you just over staff it on paper?

So when is RA going to come up and brief the Northern Exposure?

Ever since they opened the ER base in NY, they built 6 day trips to appease the commuters, with layovers either in ATL or somewhere that used to be a layover for ATL crews. So all you save is the difference between an ATL vs NYC layover. Hardly covers the cost of opening a new base. And check the domestic NYC bid package; NYC layovers! |
Yeah the ER was doing that to before I got off of it, they had those 9 day trips too.

Why wouldn't they? I suspect that is the biggest reason for holding off. See if they can get us to cave in for some $$$ in 2012 and then its a cheap regional product. Do not hold your breath for Moak to hold the 76 seat line, he has already explained that the regionals are good for mainline pilots. I will actually be surprised if we keep the 100-120 seat flying... |
Capn, I'm afraid I disagree with you on the 100 seat a/c. That is the one issue that would get closest to a strike vote of 100%.My problem with bringing all RJ flying on board is that we don't owe anybody not on our seniority list a darn thing.Once they are aboard you now have a "C" scale in effect and future bargaining $'s will have to be shifted to them.The pie is only so big.I will not be around for any of this as I am a short timer but I caution people who are: think this whole scenario thru,it is a double edged sword.Now that the horse is out of the barn how much are you willing to give up to put that sucker back in ?

I will actually be surprised if we keep the 100-120 seat flying... On the other hand, I could see them dangling a contract with 100-120 seat aircraft while also dangling an even better paying contract without the 100-120 seat aircraft. I don't believe the two go hand in hand, but I'm hoping they do not try batting one side of our pilot group against the other. Scope should not be negotiable, period, and I hope our current ALPA reps realize the significance of that. |
