I love these ASA guys who hit up various message boards to spread rumors of our demise because we won't "get on board" with a horrible contract. It's funny how ASA guys, when I meet them in person, are very nice and want a good overall contract. Nothing like the trolls you see on here or the Crackpipe.

I did think about cutting the L-XJT part, but decided not to. Because I'm too lazy to type nearly the same response again, here is my response to that part:
Good info. Sounds like XJT will get 23 900s and Skywest 17. Looks like SKYW 's plan to survive then thrive is being executed flawlessly.
The only info that sounds shaky is the L-XJT stuff. As I understand it all both sides are demanding is no concessions, and that PBS system is the only real issue left. I also heard the company was the one that slowed negotiations because it wanted to see results/effects of the Eagle and PNCL bankruptcy TAs

Supposedly their contract expectations are unreasonable, and the pilot group's militancy makes it a difficult cultural fit with the other two groups. They may very well be "Comairized," as "this isn't 1999 anymore."
Hahahahahaahhahahahahahah! That part is hilarious! Pretty good flame bait though. Keep trying!

Also, I'm hearing the exact opposite from a friend in management. Apparently the company is getting tired of the sideshow the ASA MEC puts on with negotiations. They view them as unprofessional and immature. But carry on with your flame bait.
I think JCBA negotiations will start going strong again when the outcome of the Pinnacle situation come to light

Why are we waiting on the Pinnacles outcome to continue negotiations? Is this so the company will have something to hold over our heads to ask concessions with?

There has been talk of Xjet hiring 200 pilots starting in early 2013. The CRJ side is growing.
