And False again. Where do you guys get this stuff?

Nailed it!!! I was in the school house this week and the "Big Dogs" said these same things. "They" also said, 120 new hires on the CRJ side before the new year!

This quote is laughable if you to were to really know the true story! I promise it is the LXJET MEC that is throwing around the big numbers!!! All you have to do is send a courteous email to BH, and he will explain the whole situation to you.

It's thoughts like this (your apparent hatred toward the CRJ side) that will ruin any chance of a fair integration. I am willing to bet you $$$, that this attitude will (if not already!) has eliminated your ability to be a part of productive negotiation.

They dodged a bullet for now but unless enough xjt guys take COMAs and there is enough attrition....well lets just say the crj side is going to run classes thru the end of the year.

It seem there is one side that has not learned that you word is your credibility.

>>From The Pipe:
FWIW, I think we fly like 870,000, but if we aren't upgrading guys now, we won't with 30,000 less hrs. I think it all depends on how many of our guys get sucked up in this next wave of hiring. I think the company said they expect 26 a month to leave starting Jan, but they numbers seems way to high to me

That's not what I heard at the ALPA meeting in ATL last week. Yes, I was actually there. According to what I heard while at the meeting, the LASA MEC is trying to negotiate reasonably and fairly for the majority of the pilot group.

That will definitely get them to start negotiating with some sense. If not they can have fun on reserve in DFW or IAD

Enough of L-XJT, let's talk about the good stuff. If no MIA base, why in the world are they doing overwater certification on the 200? My only guess would be AMR flying in San Juan to replace the ATR

Tha would make sense. We could do San Juan without a MIA base. Maybe charter vacation stuff to the Caribbean.

Wait...so you're telling me you actually attended a meeting!?

Can't be! No good information EVER comes from these meetings. It's just a Union Love Fest!

*sarcasm*

Had a great turn out at the meeting.
