Exactly, but as always I will post what I am told.

It was stated as I posted, no details have been made public. (For obvious reasons)

How about the all the junior pilots on property that would LOSE THEIR JOBS as a result of not capturing the E195 @ mainline?!? Unbelievable! :mad:

It's better than flying it at Compass or being furloughed. Do you want to outsource it to Republic where their first officers top out at $37/hour and their captains make mid $70's with no work rules? Like Republic, we should not have put such low 195 rates in the contract if we are not willing to fly it for that. We can always fix the low pay rate next contract. You won't have to fly it anyway.

What pilot.. senior or not really believes this? Or is this just venting on your part?:confused:

I could be wrong but I don't think that Compass is maxed out on airplanes - They ARE maxed out on the heavier 175's but I don't think there are limits on the total number of planes they can have (outside the overall scope limits). So - they could buy the RAH 175's as long as they were operated at the lower weight limits, right?

I say bring them over to CPS - it's just that many more seats covered by the flow agreement.

I don't think he is for outsourcing that airplane. Some people on here seem to be pulling for the 195 to replace the dc9 at mainline. Why in the world would you want to replace the dc9 with a similar sized airplane that pays 20% less. That is just the dumbest things I have seen on here.

Who says you haven't captured the 195 flying? The regionals haven't captured it because they can't fly it. You've captured/held on to it already. Management just doesn't want to buy it.

Think long-term
 

This is a rerun of the B-scale arguments from 25 years ago. Is it better to get the airplanes and fix the rates later, or stand on principle lest all rates be pulled down? Management said they wouldn't hire without a B-scale, but some thought they were bluffing. We never found out, because a B-scale was agreed to and the rates were fixed later. Despite this fairly benign outcome, hard feelings persisted for a long time, and those "not yet hired" eventually became the majority.

Any pilot that has voted yes for a contract that had scope relief is OK with it. They may complain about it but when push came to shove, if they voted yes, then they really didn't care all that much.
