We had 25 of them. This isn't a big deal for anyone who is a) here for a job or b) here to get experience for a major airline in the future.
Airlines change fleets all the time. |

Airlines change fleets all the time. Our hiring came to a trickle after we lost the last batch of 175’s. With all the training of pilots from the 175 back to the 145 I’m sure we’ll be able to staff those here on out... This isn’t a “airlines change fleets all the time” kinda thing. The planes aren’t even all on line yet. It hasn’t even been a year since starting service (June 15th). This is terrible news for our pilots flying that plane and our airline going forward;( |
Well I certainly didn’t expect that news...yikes
|
SkyWest once again, from the beyond, affecting our collective future..

Seems JB was warning us. There’s more to come too... EWR still closing. |
I mean, it’s still a net increase in aircraft and looks like a new base. So not all terrible news. Just crazy to think how much the company spent training people on the 175 in past year or so

Why would someone come to Expressjet if they wanted to fly E-175s? That would be dumb, go to Republic or Skywest instead. |

technically, the airline is growing by a few dozen E-145s, and adding a Denver base.

Not growing. We’ve been contracted to fly 120+ 145’s for ages now. They couldn’t attract enough talent to fill those seats so the fleet just dwindled down. This isn’t new flying.

LoL, yep add about 200 new hires to the “disgruntled” list. Many came here to fly at a growing airline with things happening.

This is terrible news for our pilots flying that plane and our airline going forward;( Agreed. Relatively new and typed on the 175 and considering jumping ship. Unless a new contract comes out I don’t see why anyone would want to fly the 145 when we can get better pay and a bonus at other company’s for the type rating. |

Why would you go to Mesa [emoji1785]
I wouldn’t but there is always a 1500 CFI or two who likes their Ponzi scheme sales pitch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I sincerely hope the powers that be have an outstanding plan or this is about to get interesting, IMO. |

I bet a pretty good chunk of pilots go to GJ since they offer pay-scale adjustment for 121 years of experience. And since both are TSH companies it would be easier to transfer sick/vacation time and 401k’s XJT would probably pick up the Denver based crews for those who don’t want to move Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Terrible news for TSA, but why is it taken for granted XJT pilots will continue to chase planes around the country on a sub-par contract?

Didn’t you read the MEC’s email. They are going to use this as leverage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, honestly I don’t really blame XJT for a lot of this BS. Not saying they’re perfect but ultimately when Daddy U says jump our management does have to ask “how high?”
