Dera I understand there are pressures to take this deal and I also understand that for a small part of our pilot group, this may be a win. However, I wouldn't call what Republic had to give up a concession. Oh no, they may only get 72 hour lines for the next few months, meanwhile they are paid more and get more of the PLOA hours. I mean lets be real, this is a crappy deal the company sent down and should be treated as such.

The burden of the companies woes shouldn't fall on our shoulders time and time again with no rewards from them when times are good.

And how is our furlough mitigation language a detriment to the pilot group? We agreed to these “concessions” in advance versus the Russian roulette going on everywhere else. Just because the company won’t award flying above 82 hours in an effort to save jobs doesn’t mean you are limited to that, however just at the mercy of other pilots wanting to drop trips as they see fit. I think we’ve got a pretty good deal overall while it seems a lot of other people are sitting around waiting to see how heavy the hammer is that’s about to drop. I’d much rather have some certainty in uncertain times...wouldn’t you agree?

Lolol imagine signing an agreement like that. What a worthless use of time and paper.

AAG can just as easily rip the rug out from under you as they can anyone else, so what's yours can just as easily be not yours at the whim of papa Parker. No one is safe at any company - even Envoy - and I'm sure the guys that have been around for a long time will tell you the same thing.
What are you even talking about? Envoy is God’s gift to aviation. When I hear Envoy on the same frequency I think to myself, “Wow! I’ve made it! They are gods amongst us mortals.” They deserve the most of the best. I don’t see why they can’t just change the flow to Delta instead. Orrrr maybe that’s PSA’s fault too.

I am not aware of any pressures to take this deal.

No OT pickup incentives, guarantees adjusted, and they gave the option to "junior man" people to leaves of absence.

That's an indirect "pay" cut, not the way you made it sound. You were trying to make it sound like OO and RAH lowered the hourly. If there is no flying to be done there wont be any OT to pick up, and OO will still allow incentives as necessary. If they need something covered and they don't have any reserves to cover it they will put incentive there. Not sure what you mean by guarantees adjusted, it's down to 67 hours for reserve but still 4:12 a day but you get 2 more days off. OO to my knowledge does not junior man anything, and will not need to junior man anyone into LOA since they had a lot of pilots taking the VLOA and CPTO program.

PSA probably has more leverage right now, they have an accelerated pay agreement that allows pilots to build their own schedules from open time and get paid 150% above 85, and 125% above 75 hours.

Pilots will be clearing 110 hours no problem while reservists do nothing and get paid 75 hours.

PSA mgmt has 0 cards to play to level the lines, so it's a high cost item right now.

Even if pilots desire to level their own schedule to help other pilots, no wants a straight give away to mgmt.

It was brought to my attention that in our time of need, the fine individuals at PSA are trying to cut a deal with AAG to undercut the other wholly owned regionals, backstabbing their alpa brothers and sisters.
