Word on the street is there will be a TA by summers end. The SLI will somewhat favor the ASA side. It is also being said that do not be to surprised if Delta comes in and buys some of the pilot group if not all. With Delta's lightning speed contract TA, and what looks like the same with Expressjet, makes one wounder why the rush. let's just say there is something in the works. Can't say much for the other regionals, but it appears that this Delta TA will benefit the new Expressjet, more than any other regional, for the better. Things are definitely looking good as time goes forward.

Now, now, don't confuse the lies from the sellouts with facts.

If one wants to get hired at a regional, these days, there is no need to pre-interview. XJT, along with other regionals, are having trouble filling classes. All the job fairs Xjt is going to and interviewing are the actual interview as far as panel interviewing is concerned. I was informed they do the technical testing as well on site.

Agreed. I was referring to the majors. If they want to see if you fit the mold, they call you in and interview you. That is the way it has traditionally been done. Now you have to shell out hundreds of clams to go to a job fair so they can pull your application from the stack and look at it. Lazy.

Ha. Wish I were a lifer. Then I'd mist likely be racking up PIC time. No I'm a relatively new hire. I just think with the mainlines' need for pilots in the near future most places people go now will be OK so might as well go to a place that has good rules and relatively "good" pay. Hope I'm right.

So what the heck was going on today? Got reassigned twice and ended up in MDW on the 200. Good wx everywhere and supposedly ample reserves. All that and then the message from the chief looking for an FO for an AGS layover. And in a month with low TLV's. Was there a sickout and I didn't get the memo?

Also, heard a rumor that yall's joint contract might include the ERJ package for all the current ERJ drivers, but the New hires would work under different rules. The only problem is executing two contracts all the time or it might have already happened. Do you care to debate the merit of that, or how its any different in principle than the PSA TA that everybody loves to hate.
The difference is that ASA & XJT are negotiating a merger contract in which the 2 sides simply can't agree on which direction is better for a joint contract (PBS, vacation bidding, etc). Additionally, the PBS dispute pretty much guarantees significantly different scheduling sections, with ramifications throughout the contract. 2 books might be the only way to get a deal, but is highly undesirable. I predict that if a TA is reached with unequal pay for either one side or new-hires it will fail badly once again.
