I know. My fear is that the next airline accident may be attributed to that.

 

Then why did Arliss say "UA promised us in official company communications" ? Is he a liar? Or just clueless?

 

Well, I'll put "promise" in quotation marks. But Blackhawk is right, the company and union are openly saying it so it means that United must have approved the release of the information, which means they have at least a strong intention of placing them with Xjet. Otherwise they would just ignore us and place them with an existing 175 operator.

I know you know nothing about what UA has promised or not promised to XJT. If this contract is voted in then you will get your answer!

 

I would say much more than a promise, but something in writing that could be upheld in court if UAL were to renege. Otherwise we would just hear more rumors and vague promises instead of specific information.

 

United may have signaled that the deal is Xjet’s to lose. However, they couldn’t reveal the specific costs without compromising themselves with their other partners. And, I would surprise anything is in writing.

Xjet management has to know they need to be competitive with Republic’s price point to win the bid. United would be hard pressed to award the E175SC’s to another regional that is more expensive unless the Xjet deal is part of a purchase.

 

XJTrs remember this Calmwinds guy is a Mesa toll. Please don't engage him. He is like talking to a rubber wall. His comments on other boards are that we are a "Pathetic" airline and that we deserve to just die off.. We are not interested in your "opinions" Calmwinds...

 

Oh go easy on him.. you remember being 28 years old and knowing everything.

 

Long time lurker. Very low number of posts.
Unless this contract promises industry leading pay and QOL. Who cares that you are gitting new planes. Especially if these planes mean another company (Go Jet) might disappear, or other companies loose aircraft, and pilots loose jobs. Their are already companies out there that promised what you don’t yet have. So either hold out until you go to UA or hold out for top pay and QOL or move sideways to another regional.
To stoop so low and to undercut other pilot groups is what the industry CEO’s want. As an Union airline it is your duty not to allow anything less.
I hope you endure a future of hate and shunning from EVERY pilot group, and a lifetime of guilt, if you don’t hold out and vote in an ugly contract just because “new planes”.
The regional airlines pilots have endured the whipsaws and low standards long enough. You are in the best position to keep this historic increase in Pay, Benefits and QOL momentum going.
Talk about new airplanes should be last on the list!!!

 

Geeze, with your limited IQ and Grammar, you must be a Mesa Pilot.
