Since our contracts are not a single list yet, if ASA needs to furlough will it come from the junior EMB guys?
I think you answered your own question. No SLI, no furloughs on the ERJ side, and so on.

I believe there is more to it than SLI. Were both ALPA. Thanks for leaving us out to dry though.

"Anytime soon"? If by "soon" you mean in 3 years? Im willing to bet we are SLI by then anyways. Any loss of flying from either side will affect us as a whole. The most junior guys get the boot, ERJ side or CRJ side. Not gonna matter what plane your on, just depends on who is at the bottom.

Nobody is getting furloughed from either side in the next 3 months, which is about as far out as anybody can predict anything in Aviation. So much can change in that time that any further predictions are conjecture or pure rectal extraction!

I'm sorry, but which side wanted to drag this on to keep their version of PBS?

I don't know anybody who wants to drag this out to keep PBS. Most people I know want a good, sustainable contract. The bidding method is really immaterial.

If the list's are not merged, the furloughs will come on the side with the aircraft loss. Period.

This whole thing is turning into such a total crap show. I talk to pilots from both sides of the company and all I hear is "these guys are a bunch of babies" "these guys are dragging their feet" "have you ever talked to those guys? They're a bunch of chest thumpers or greedy bastards". Honestly though, when ever I ask someone have YOU ever actually interacted with someone from the other side of the group they say no. It's always, I heard it from this other guy in reccurrent who heard it from a flight attendant and so on.

We are all pilots with the same license flying the same passengers in the same sky. We all deserve the same no matter what company you work for. Honestly it appalls me how incredibly immature our union has been through all of this. If there is anyone that deserves a finger pointing it's the union. I have personally interacted with individuals that deal with contract negotiations and I don't even feel confident in their ability to fly an airplane never mind determine the fate of the worlds largest regional carrier.

Reading this garbage reminds me of a faint memory of 3rd grade. Two kids arguing over who's backpack is cooler.

Grow the F up. Get over it. Ohhh but you didn't buy us, But... but I swear we did, Hey guys on the ERJ side Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT vote for anything, F those guys that fly a different airplane for the same company.

I feel embarrassed to say I work for this company after reading this s h i t.
