ASA/ExpressJet or PinnaColaba??

Pinnacle management is already asking for concessions and BK doesn't appear out of the question, XJT/ASA/SKYW is in healthy financial shape, plus you would be on the XJT side which easily has a better contract than PCL before they give back. Unless you live in a PCL base I'd go with XJT if you get offered both.

Yes...the part you left out is what you are missing. With ASA losing planes and in bad financial shape the ASA/XJT contract will be tough to keep. I think you may see your contract take substantial hits (hope not) with the threat of moving A/C to your non union side.

If SkyWest takes any of our aircraft...our pilots go with them. That was the deal when they bought us.

This is true, but we will of course always try to push for it. The bottom line is we do have some protections in place to protect jobs affected by the transfer of airplanes. We are happy with our current contract (still industry leading) and don't care if it takes 10 years to negotiate a new one.

Pick the one that has the best commuting option with earliest start date a close second.
With your previous hours you're just trying to get current to be eligible for a major but you may have to wait it out for a year or two so an easy commute is key.
