It is plainly obvious they did not start the XJT 175 program for just 25 tails, otherwise we’d be keeping those airplanes. People who can’t see that the regionals are under the table fighting each other for scraps that the legacies drop from their table are misguided.

YOU obviously have not been at XJT long enough, but in Contract 2018....the potential of voting down the contract could have and would have ultimately led to our wind down (TSA claimed inability to attract pilots and now look at them)

Accusing many of us of not reading the contract.......EHHHHH thats a little bit much dont ya think???

I’m still waiting for the MRJs that we were promised would be ours in 2017.

The UA ALPA that wanted priority on your Jumpseat over YOU only to be checked by NON ALPA UAX pilots?!?

What are you talking about? Show us the part where UA would have had priority over XJT on XJT metal.
