If it hasn't been said yet, folks should know RAH offered COLAs at Chautauqua in the fall of 2005.

I'm not saying RAH guys are bad, I'm just saying don't try and act like taking our flying was just the "name of the game". It is hurting a better paid pilot group. Get over yourself. If I was in your shoes I would not be defending XJT loss to RAH at all.
All this will lead to is XJT maybe having to take consesions and taking someone else's flying, because we now have less block hours for our pilot staff. Now do you see how bad this can get?
I only hope we take Mesa's flying out of IAD and ORD, because, that sir would be a step in the right direction. Not like XJT flying going to RAH. We can all cheer if that happens.

Do you know why RAH got XJT flying? It is because they have a cheaper operation. How much do your FO's get paid over there? How much do their FO's get paid on the 170? We have a more costly contract than RAH does, don't tell us they didn't cost CAL less.
Why don't you compare a 5-year 170 FO at RAH to a 5 year DC-9 FO at NW.

Last I checked we negotiate when we get new aircraft. Not fly bigger ones at old rates

Get over myself, how about you get over yourself? You give the guys at RAH a bad name. Employees at XJT are losing flying because of our hard fought and really good pay contract (in terms of other regionals). Don't give me gripe sir, the only uneducated person is you.

Do you know the circumstances surrounding the CHQ 2003 CBA? Do you know what the CHQ contract looked like before it? Do you know how big the company was then, vs. how it is now?
Until you know the answers to the questions above, you will be terribly misinformed on the topic.
You aren't losing flying because of your pilot contract, you're losing flying because mother CAL wanted to diversify their regional feed at the first possible moment...

It had nothing to do with pilot contracts and everything to do with CAL wanting to diversify so XJT didn't have a strong arm on CAL. It sucks but thats what happened.
