So this is what desperation looks like. While this'll most likely be an AA aircraft in DFW, I'm sure pilot recruiting will use this aircraft for "road shows."

Looks like somebody still isn't used to the after landing flow.

WTH are those IPB days? I see them on the awards, but I have no idea what that means.

To keep them non Union. But hey, they don't get 4 weeks of vacation with trip touch, 12% company contribution, unlimited sick calls, paid fatigue calls (not out of your sick bank), unlimited commuter drops, 25% premiums for health care, LTD to age 65, and good work rules.

In other words, they give them uninformed pilots just enough to pacify them. Anyway, we don't need to be non-Union in order to merge. Not that that's going to happen.

When I see 884 painted up like this all I see is another aircraft removed from the Delta contract with 14 more pilot positions at ASA about to vaporize.

I'm a little confused as to why it says "Operated by Expressjet Airlines" still on the lower right front fuselage. I don't think I've ever seen any mainline aircraft anywhere with similar tags. I ask only because of the palpable new livery in "company colours". Or is this a contractual/federal requirement once the aircraft is involved in any sort of contracted flying?

Also note how they applied the company logo BACKWARDS on the tail. Good job ExpressJet. Butcher your own branding.

I feel like you'd be an absolute blast to fly with. All you do is complain. If you read what was written, the aircraft is actually owned by ExpressJet. But yet I'm sure you complain when you see a SkyWest painted bird, that why can't we do that for our flying.

I could see the company paying you $120/hr, but yet you would still complain because mainline pilots are making $121/hr.

If you're so miserable here, quit. Show the company that you don't like what they are doing and leave.

I kind of wish they would stop highlighting our performance. We all get it, we have good performance that hasn't led to anything. I did get yo fly a plane yesterday with an EFB mount so that was a nice change.
