We also used a vendor in Clarksburg WV as well

Odd that there has been no accountant from the company.

I thought CKB was just the ASA MX base we brought the airplanes from to go to conformity checks.

Not exactly surprising with our current CEO. I think they want to keep it quiet so GoJet doesn’t completely collapse like ASA did.

Looking at the fleet tracking thread. There was mention of planes leaving Clarksburg and going out to the line. We must have a contractor there as well

There is a Bombardier facility there. I use to ferry 900's from DTW to CKB and back when I first started working for us. They were doing heavy checks. Wish my phone had not crashed cause I had photos of 915XJ completely torn apart.

Fuel saving measures... Great. At least 200 drivers won't have to worry about it since you're not burning fuel if it's deferred!

On another note, how many damn things does the company want us to hang around our necks. P-code card, warts card, new safety card... Don't forget, it's the "expectation"

Dude, how hard is it to just fly the plane according to the flight release? Block out on time if possible, single engine taxi when possible, climb on profile, cruise at planned IAS or Mach depending on altitude and arrive on time, if possible. Sure we have a few nuisance SelCals but so what? If you don’t want to bother with our heightened level of service and pay, go fly at OO, G7 or Mesa whatever the heck their iata code is. We don’t care what you hang around your neck. Just do your job or move on and let someone else who’s happy to do it—do it. You’re getting paid more to be better. Sheesh.

It's not that hard and that's what I do. We're being micromanaged more and more. Get off our backs and let us fly the plane. Besides, there aren't many that care about squeaking out a couple extra bucks in fuel to give Delta's pilots a couple more times in profit sharing. I care more about my pax than Delta's profits, so I will leave the apu on and try to make my cabin as comfortable as possible. If Delta wants us to care about profits, give us profit sharing.

You bring up pay like we're the only ones to have raised rates. Republic will surpass us soon. Others have closed or are closing the gap. We aren't the only game in town, and Delta's actions show we aren't the "gold standard". However, I do care about my job and being a professional. I will take care of my customers, even if it costs the company a few extra dollars.

No argument there. I also love how there are stations that have told me that they don’t, for example, hook up air to regional jets. Pretty soon they’ll make a SelCal for Send reason code for APU on prior to D-1 second.

Mesa is YV. We also have the best compliance with fuel savings programs of any regional. Don’t come here.
