lol okay if you say so. But I have to be honest with you I don’t see what you are saying. I don’t think it’s wrong for pilots to know how to fly before they start flying passengers. Yes I know there is learning curves for flying a jet. But that learning curve shouldn’t be the basics.

A regional captain didn’t know how to break a stall. That’s a skill that was taught in his private pilot training. And to me, that’s wrong that he still didn’t know how to do it. Is that being pious?

I really enjoy flying with new hires and I didn’t forget where I came from. I just have a problem listening to people who struggle to fly talk about how they should be an airline captain yesterday just cause they’ve been 8 months on property.

I guess we just disagree.

Anyone wondered whether expressjet is really that bad should read through this entire thread. Twice. And then hit themselves in the face with a tack hammer until they lose consciousness.

Those are bad ideas..... Going to expressjet at this point is a worse idea.

I don’t think it’s wrong for pilots to know how to fly anymore that I think my surgeon should know how to cut. If you’re talking about an 8 monther shooting his/her mouth off about being a captain so quickly like that, then I give you praise for holding your tounge. But, your initial comment did not say anything of the like. You came off as someone who believes they never make a task error while flying but are quick to criticize those who do.

All the Crew Trackers on the LXJT side have been notified that their last day is the end of May as well.

It seems as if they’re only concerned about keeping the pilot group........

If they were concerned about keeping the pilot group, they would have given out raises that kept up with the rest of the industry. No need to furlough pilots when they are leaving on their own for other airlines including other regionals.

Damn this place is still open? I haven’t flown in like a month. I was kinda hoping I’d get a call saying it’s shut down, don’t bother coming back...LOL

Im confused... thought we had a 145 contract for the next 4-5 yrs. Wont crews need to be tracked?

I am bit surprised the union or management hasn’t explained to the pilots what the purpose of these furloughs are, and what the end game is....

Not sure why the union isn't telling the pilots about the future so they can do what is in their best interests. We are all sick of hearing about NDAs. I think its going to be hard to sue ALPA over a NDA when the company is bankrupt and gutted. Sooner or later you just need to do the right thing.
