If they need concessions to compete for new flying then I guess they just wont compete... We are the biggest regional airline in the world, in 6 months the regionals will be desperate for pilots, It is on us to call the bluff of management and end this disgusting race to the bottom.

While I agree with you, the plan may be to eliminate us all together. Solves the shortage, doesn't it?

We all knew negotiations would go down the concessions road. We also knew the union wouldn't take a hard stance against it.
(Read -We then spent the weekend trying to better comprehend the amount of concessions management sought and their analysis justifying such concessions. While we gained some clarity, management’s negotiators required more time to assess the situation themselves before they could provide us with concrete information. Therefore, the parties agreed to recess private mediation early Sunday afternoon.)
TFAYD for our customers and mainline partners.

This will work it self out. In a year XJT and SKYWEST will be begging for pilots, hence the urgency to close a deal with concessions locking us out of the most lucrative time ahead for pilots. Just NO enough said!

Even with concessions (and Im not advocating for concessions) XJT/ASA will continue to shrink while SkyWest continues to grow. May as well get full pay to the last day.

While I want our company to succeed, I do not think that concessions are necessary. Keep the Ipads, the E-175 or any other carrots that they might want to dangle.

Probably a good idea to call/email your reps to let them know where line pilots stand concerning concessions.
