Nothing has changed for Delta pilots at all. No screening in the parking lots, but the rampers and other employees get checked if they go into a bus stop. So basically, if they don't want to be checked they just stand behind the bus stops until bus arrives. Then they bypass screening and get on the bus. The new screening is really a joke.

We will never get a joint JCBA and there is no chance in hell we will ever merge lists, the pilot groups are too different. As other regionals continue to negotiate, get new TAs and contracts and attract the few pilots out there with quick upgrades and more pay, we will be left standing with our pants down still hoping for good news, new airplanes and and the promised 20/month upgrades while SkyWest continues to grow and take over more flying.

Come on man. Don't spoil the good feels circulating in the few new hire classes.

Well then we need to stand up and make a silent protest! Wright ups! Sick calls! Late STAR flights! No extensions period! Slow down!
Less some good news were not playing ball anymore! Screw our partners and their noticing!

Nothing new and nothing happened. The mediator got sick and meeting was cut short. Nothing scheduled for now and company seems to be dragging its feet again.

It's because they are still trying to figure out a loop hole to make us notifiable with the EFB. I will be shocked if we don't end up on the losing end of the deal when they are released.

I would have rather carried paper charts if it meant getting new flying and or getting this contract done. No disrespect to those that worked hard on rolling out the EFBs (kudos) but EFBs aren't going to attract new hires. EVERYTHING depends on new hires. With the recent reduction of flying by Republic, if mainline were to come to us what assurance can we give to them that we could adequately staff when we barely get a fraction of new hires compared to our attrition? This right seat flying as captain for limited duration is just kicking the can down the road without solving the problem. MONEY talks and if SKW is serious about the success of ExpressJet's future, it's going to take an investment into our pilot group much like buying new planes for future fleet strategy.
