You just said it yourself: it was never Simmons', or Flagship's, or Wings West's, or American Eagle's, or even Envoy.

It's American's flying.

Every AAG wholly owned carrier has exactly ONE customer that farms out work that actually belongs to the APA.

Until people wrap their heads around the implication of the above facts then you're going to keep running your head into the wall.

It matters a great deal.... Say I'm sitting on the bottom of the list on the 145 and all they do is hire into the 175 then I'll be getting ready reserve while people junior to me are holding lines.

We are not beating our heads. Didn't you see how quickly we excepted AAG's offer for retention and lateral transfers. We are ready to play the "stab the next guy in the back" game that PSA's ALPA Pilots were so ready to play. I am now PSA MINUS $1 'til the day I leave the regional industry.

Have fun trying to improve your contract after you were so quick to take the ****ty one you have now.

I'm not worried about it. While I have some issues with the MEC's recent decision, market forces won't let our contract, nor the flow, stay where it is.

Without the LOA vote back in the day there wouldn't have been the leverage to say that.

It's not official...but new hires will be going to the 175 very shortly. Our latest upgrade/vacancy bid had no 175 displacements for current pilots.

Should be 55 new FO positions opening on the 175 later this month.. Since we are adding that many more CA positions with no internal FO bid to fill those seats.

SJS new hires better act fast.. Lol

I heard it was a mix of DFW and ORD and they will backfill. But that's just a rumor.

I am also hoping that, like last time, the 50 is an understatement. Something more like 75-80 upgrades? Only one way to find out.

Pretty darn close on the estimating. Do I win anything?

Now what I really wanted personally was some more Q300s and some Q400s, but alas. no one can seem to embrace the turboprop anymore. Well, except Canada, and Europe, and...wait a minute...

Is it just me or was this really hard to read. Its like its just barely English. I had to read it a couple of times and ended up with an heavy accent in my head as I read along and then all I heard was Pedro.
