Yes it is. And it’s in all of our best interest. To work against that effort is what I take issue with. Portraying a narrative that things are so bad at XJT that no one should come here by lifers who know of its that bad they would leave gets under my skin. It’s all about trying to make another couple thousand a year. Give up the EQO for a $10 an hour raise and declare victory. Nothing gets accomplished if anything we are all worse off for it.
You are probably young and single and you haven’t even hit the line yet. You have no idea. You are just happy to be sitting in a shiny jet. The rest of us not so much.
Improve our QOL or shut it down. We have options now. Times have changed.

You are clueless. Has nothing to do with money. It’s about QOL. These inefficient trips are the problem. They are so low credit, that almost everyone is down to 12 days off. Combine that with commuting and most people are hardly ever home.

From: CRJ9 CA
There’s a well staffed 175 operator eager for additional flying. And you know they smell the blood in the water.

What would stand in the way of just merging the two companies? Eliminate 1/2 the overhead. Dozens of CA qualified pilots offset Commutair’s problems, hundreds of younger pilots balance the pilot force at XJT. New contract negotiated, match WO pay, boom United feeder problem solved.

I could be wrong but I don’t think United would want to use a more expensive labor group with that operator. Whatever happens with Compass, unfortunate as that is and would never wish it on any Pilot group, will be the deciding factor on a few scenarios mentioned on this forum.

I don't think anyone said that things are so bad that no one should go to XJT. They just want people to have all the available information before making their decision. You have a problem with that because your agenda isn't what's best for the pilots at XJT or prospective new hires, your agenda is what's best for you. Most people that have read what you post on here can clearly see that. Good to know the MEC is getting under your skin though buddy!
