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.
Then leave. There's the door, since you're the epitome of maturity why don't you move on to a more "mature" environment in aviation (notice the irony in that sentence).

Here's what's going on though as I type this, our guys on ERJ are starting to realize why everyone is in a hurry to close this deal, and it doesn't bode well for us; so we'll just slow down for a bit and wait. If the Delta TA goes through, don't expect a TA to pass on our side unless there are significant job protections and QOL improvements. Not in a hurry, we have a good contract on the ERJ side. As far as I'm concerned we can just keep operating separately permanently!

Like all regionals, there are up's and down's. It's important to remember that when things are going well don't be so ignorant to think that you will never see hard times again.

No one is denying that, but the difference between some of us and the rest of you generation entitlement is that I don't expect other pilot groups to pay for my misfortunes. If the roles were reversed I would not expect the crj guys to pay for it if they can help it.

So the reality still stands, we'll know the results of the Delta TA, and vote accordingly, but if you think I'm going to turn my back on my brothers to save another pilot group, you're delusional!

I'm not sure who you're arguing with. I never said or hinted at anything you are ass-uming.

Not sure why you guys are getting your panties in a bunch over the Delta TA.

1. Nothing has passed yet.
2. Takes years for the RJs to leave, this isn't an overnight deal.

I beleive that after all this is said and done we will be at majors anyways. Unless you're a lifer and at that point your Fed anyways.

Aren't we supposed to ALL be brothers now, or your brothers are just the ones that fly the same plane as you? When do "the brotherhood" fences come down, in your estimation?

+1. Thank you. There are some people who will rant and rave based purely on speculation. Whenever our TA comes about, read it carefully and see if that is what you wanted and vote accordingly. Till then control the things you can and forget the rest.

My 4 year old just ran up and told me my 6year old hit him... and that is about the level of intelligence this thread has descended too.

ja2C was right, this is a quite moronic, third grade thread -- and I just have to say -- this is classic childhood, bully BS:

Nothing personal, but that was true school-yard, bully badgering. Complete opposite of mature.

Here's a legit question: So, if the TA passes and we have no SLI, then would the 35% of Delta's DCI ALPA new hires will exclude that ERJ side (negating the need to kick and scream over SLI?) Curious, it's pretty clear which half of the list flies DCI. Ehhh, might be a better question for the Delta folks on here.

I'm most likely wrong but I'm guessing it only pertains to the company as a whole rather than which side that applicant flies for.
