^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I respect the pressure, but also think they're leading you on just as with the 175. Your destiny is set, good or bad, and pilots are not in control of a CPA.

Gone Flying

not sure where you got 180 but skywest operates 103 total CRJ-200s for UAL. About the same size as XJT and about 1/3 of pre Covid 50 seat flying, (excluding the 550) ~1/3 skywest, ~1/3rd XJT, ~1/3 C5/ZW

thats exactly what they did, and exactly what will happen.

XJT pilots have been screwed more times than a 10 dollar streetwalker, but all it takes is one pilot group to give in to concessions to screw the entire industry.

While I'm at C5 and acknowledge I may be the short-term beneficiary of what I'm about to say, I must beg XJT pilots not to give in, even if it means XJT dies. You hold the future of the industry in your hands. If you capitulate, we will all eventually be forced to do the same. A rising tide floats all boats, as they say, but if the tide goes out we'll all run aground.

I left the industry due to pay and only came back because it had increased. And I'm fully willing to leave again before agreeing to any further pay cuts simply to send a message to the greedy c-levels who run this industry. I realize not everyone has the opportunities in other industries I do, but I do know that if pay goes back to what it was in the naughts you'll be better off working in any other industry. Sure, it won't be as fun, but what's the fun in making burger flipper wages taking the risks we do every day? I won't stand for it, and neither should you.

Would any concessions go into a vote? Or would it be passed in the best interest of the group?

UA didn’t say one 50 seat operator. They said one 145 operator.

Technically it was an off-airport landing

But as long as no one dies, legacies accept an occasional hull loss as part of the cost of economical feed.

And they will not, don't lose any sleep over that. OO isn't going to add a new cert for an old type they've never flown before.
