Anytime someone here has to resort to insults/slurs/bad jokes it just goes to show they have no valid argument and are responding overly emotionally in a bad way. I never questioned the livelihood of 4000 employees. Most are trying to make the best of a bad situation. Anyone seriously considering 9E as newhire FO seriously needs to reevaluate what they are looking for in a regional. Compass is a far better option with guaranteed CAs flowing to Delta. Again, just from a factual standpoint. 9E has some CAs leaving to Delta, but the bottom of a 2100 pilot list with the current fleet end plan of 81 planes means there are better opportunities elsewhere. Dare I say, Mesa has RJs for AA coming online soon and will create lots of movement hiring/upgrading.

GoJets had fast movement for quite a while when they grew and now have slowed down. Most junior CA is still a 2012 DOH. They're still better options than 9E. I agree 100% that the majors want cheap contract feed and they will get it.

I forgot that you fly an Airbus for a company with the worst financial performance in its segment of the industry. Did they include a taqiyah with your new Banana Republic designed uniform? Please wear that the next time your hang around elevators to 9E crew rooms, I'm sure you look like quite the fool wearing it.

Nobody is guessing anything, its official, and has been communicated to 9E's management. It doesnt get any more official than that. As far as changes down the road regarding the fleet change, well, guess away.

As far as other regionals losing planes too, Id agree. Id stay away from any regionals that have a ton of 50 seaters, just MHO.

"As it currently stands". Well, Im a fan of looking at all the facts before I make a decision... yes, nothing is ever written in stone in this industry, but some are much better indicators of things to come than others, an official fleet plan designed and passed on to 9E by mainline? Yeah, I'll give that good solid specific weight compared to other indicators.

"As it currently stands" provides a basis of current situation, and in this case it projects a possible negative outcome. Yes, other regional's contracts will come up in 2015, that could mean bad news, but as of now there is no definite plan or schedule for each of them, next thing you know, you're back at "guessing" again.

Writing has been on the wall for the last couple of years. Now its on paper, both in the shape of a fleet reduction plan and a concessionary POS contract that 85% of the pilot group was willing to take. Most of FOs (myself included) have raised the anchor and looked elsewhere for employment. Nothing here at 9E for the bottom 2/3 of the FO list, IMHO. Dont even mention the new hires...
