And what rates does XJT have for that size of a/c? Oh that's right they have to negotiate one so being a Section 6 negotiation, since it may affect the ASA side the LASA MEC must be involved. Look for Company to want cheap rates.

The blast was only to the L-XJT pilots from their MEC. Not sure if it was in the same blast or an earlier one but they also told their pilot group that the ASA MEC has informed the company and the XJT MEC that they won't consider any PBS system other than Flight Line.
We got a Fiscal Cliff type situation here where if we don't come together everybody is screwed.

[=newarkblows;1322216]It was the same thread that you called working at ASA the "big leagues" ... remember it now? I probably would have tried to block it mentally too.
Our MEC just put out an email explaining how the ASA MEC has said that any contract without flightline in it will not pass their vote. They have done this despite the two other parties involved explaining that flightline is not a reasonable request. The company would have it but with major sections of the current ASA scheduling section rewritten because it has not come close to its projected cost savings. Vacation low would be gone and the end product is an unknown quantity. Our MEC has researched pbs systems and found one that resolves almost every parties issues and yet because it does not have a flightline name it is not even an option. The ASA MEC has done next to zero research, is sticking their head in the sand hoping to save their current flightline system and workrules (management said no), and is unwilling to negotiate on anything that negatively affects the top 5% of pilots for the betterment of 95% of the combined pilot group.
So who is unwilling to negotiate now? Oh that was just the ASA MEC's trolls on here spouting lies. Keep up the smear campaign

As for the rest of your post, it is nothing but speculation and rumor. I haven't seen the email... go ahead and post it. Your MEC lies to you guys constantly, so why should I care what they tell you guys now? It wasn't long ago that their position was no PBS and 20% raises. They sold you out on that too, apparently.

Exactly! Many of you will take this the wrong way, and so be it, but if you need to do major studying and "gouges" (whatever that is) to take an airline interview test with questions from the ATP written, then I'm sorry, but you're not ready for prime time!
When you end up in the right seat of a jet, you are not there to learn how to fly, you are there to assist the Captain and learn to be a Captain someday. You should already know how to fly and possess all of the required information. If you use the "gouges" and fake your way through the interview, you will be in for a rude awakening when you get to the line!
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm stating a fact. Captains are happy to help you learn the airline system, but it you don't know the basics we have little patience.

Oh, well then it MUST be true!
