Maybe today the mass resignations will start. Even on the ERJ side the captains I fly with say all their FOs have interviews somewhere else. Half either jetblue or spirit, the other half other regionals, mostly envoy or piedmont.

Not too late....Its not like they will be gone forever! lol The MEC extended the LOA from 3 months to 6 months.... everyone can leave and they can make announcement in April and then they can all come back to xjt within 6 months from leaving... the training center may be a little backed up, but they can still come back and keep their seniority numbers

We’ve had several at PSA as well. Almost instantaneous upgrades at all of the AA WOs as long as perpetual CA reserve is your cup o’ tea.

I see 90 days only.

It’s 180 days now. There was a blast mail sent out in September or October I think.

Unless its been changed, this LOA does not apply to anyone that has made a lateral move to another regional (which is where most of the attrition is going). So its useless to most. And those that could use it have gone on to DL, AA, UA, FedEx, SWA, etc... So they don't need it.

And why would anybody in their right mind leave this place, go through training, and then decide to come back? Upgrade will still be many years, pay will probably be less (due to not upgrading), and even if UA offered a flow, for many it would be faster to get hired off the street at a legacy or LCC.

Im a 16 year CA and number 800ish on the ISL. It would still be years before I would flow (and a flow is the only thing that would make this place have a chance of survival. NO enhanced CPP will save this place).

So again I say, time has run out. The ERJ side may survive with a 100 or so frames, but I believe the CRJ side will be done shortly.

The rumor mill is becoming insufferable. Mainly flight attendants egged on by certain pilots. I've heard it all now. United bought us! We will be on United travel benefits, health insurance, etc! That's why they extended the employment leave! LOL

But hey, they might be able to share some news about something that might be in the works, during the conference call. Can't wait.

I have my resignation letter ready for after the conference call .....

There is no clear path forward for any CRJ pilot beyond this Fall, regardless of position on the ISL. Has one single CRJ pilot, FO or CA actually begun ERJ training?

Yes.......
