I'll give them a break as far as last Friday or even the ice events, but when there is not a cloud within 2000 NM of Atlanta and another crew is running 20 minutes late and they reroute you that is total BS.
Every leg not on your original rotation should be paid on top of the rotation guarantee. Done. No exceptions for IROPS or anything. They can do whatever they want to us, but it will cost them extra money. Simple fix. Go into a day off, double pay for last 2 duty periods.

I am not sure what the advantage to a single MEC might be, but some might say it clouds the issue of "class and craft" should an express carrier seek a merger with a mainline carrier via a petition for Single Transportation System finding.
Wasn't Ransome put on the Pan Am list?

That was corrected in a subsequent email....

The company that runs crew accommodations needs to be replaced, and these jobs need to be brought in house.
Last month, ended up in D.C. @ midnight with no hotel during an IROP. No way to get crew accommodations... no hotels to be found... finally hopped a hotel bus to crystal city and walked door to door asking for two rooms... ended up putting $800 on my credit card for mine and my FO's rooms.

Wrote it up and told Chief next day, I will never push again without rooms on the rotation... no more promises that it will be done by the time we get there.

Turned down 3 late night GS offers last Friday because I was not about to repeat the above. (From what I heard about this after, sounds like I made the right call. Btw, all 3 flights cancelled due to lack of pilots.)

They need to fix this crew tracking/accommodation problem ASAP!

As much as it pains me to say it, looks like a 717 base for NYC. Just announced on Twitter: Shuttle operations to be moved from the Marine air terminal to terminal C at LGA and will be operated by the 717.

So much for a west coast base

To hasten our demise, without selling the farm in the process. Our bankruptcy contract wasn't the end of the concessions here, and the EtD/Bridge agreement are just the beginning. ALPA will do anything to keep this 9E thing going.

On DeltaNet as well. But only mentions BOS-LGA on 717, DCA and O'Hare are still 175s.

I bet we see all the shuttles move to the 717. The west coast 175's from LA-SF-LA and SEA-SF-SEA are always late and/or canceling. I bet we still see the 717s on the left coast if the regionals can't find people. Mainline needs the feed to Sea and LA for the Intl stuff.
