Nope, that's not an award silly. It's a base trade. The last bid was 19-04 and the most junior captain had a seniority of 12yrs and 6 months. Period. That's the facts.
There is a 4/14 seniority captain sitting at the bottom but they traded in.
Do another bid and bring the numbers down more. Until then it's all talk.

Just a friendly reminder that XJT is a contract airline that united pays for each departure. Keeping our labor cost down in order to increase profit margin is a Mana Air decision, not a United decision. There is a lot of talk about United owes us better QOL, or better pay. They pay our boss a fee for each departure. They do not set our pay rates or agree to our work rule demands. Mana Air does.
The CEO owns a majority of the company and has incentive to make as much profit as possible, because he 1) could sell his 51% stake for much more than what it was purchased for and 2) get a job as a major airline executive or stakeholder as he would have then turned around two regional companies from struggling to growing and profitable.

Yes! There was a time when fools actually lined up at the door for a then $13,000/year job. Be very grateful we are finally on par with administrative assistants, cooks and sheet metal workers as far as wages go. We really shouldn't fall out of line and make waves to a company that posted a billion dollars in profit last quarter. Silly greedy pilots.

Looks like the union angered DoSomePilotStuf from the latest email today:
Dear ExpressJet colleagues:
I send this email to respond to questions and queries from many of you.
Working together, in our first 8 months as an independent ExpressJet, we have made great strides in establishing the growth path we all desire. Flying our new E175s and increasing our ERJ145 production will fuel our future. So, I’m disappointed to see ALPA’s recently launched media campaign designed to discourage pilots from joining ExpressJet (www.ExpressJetFacts.com, attached postcard mailer, etc).
While you consider the implications of the campaign on our Company, I want to reiterate your leadership team’s commitment to work with you to realize the ExpressJet vision: We will be the United Express carrier that best understands and fulfills the needs of United Airlines.

Blah blah blah lots of hot air...money talks. United posted a $1.1 BILLION dollar profit in Q2 alone. It's time for them to start fulfilling some our of needs too. I don't foresee this campaign going away anytime soon until we get their attention.
