Maybe so but we still have what? Seven years left on the current CPA for 50 seat flying. I'll ride this contract out for seven years. Oh, and if they take the planes guess what! We go with them. I can live on SKY pay. They would be forced to welcome allot of big northeast union guys.

What is this guy smoking? The only place the planes are going is to Kingman, Arizona. The CPA was with Continental. No more Continental, no more CPA. Vapor!

That is not how contracts work when one entity is acquired/merged. 10 year cpa with skywest.

So got offered a position with XJT to leave a dieing regional. I guess the new process now on equipment assignment is everyone goes to IAH for Indoc and then pref bids are made for equipment? At least that's what I was told. So all erj and crj peeps together next month then split up according to awards. Anyone have more insight to that?

Yeah. Just got the same call. I was slated for CRJ, now it looks like it could go either way.

Was also told the new contract is close to going up for vote and pay will probably be significantly increased for first year FOs. I'm assuming this also means a merged seniority list also?

For basics, maybe. Think summary of the Cliff Notes. You need to read the book and, as I am currently discovering, preferably more than once.

From what I've been told, that is correct. You will bid according to the needs of the company and your seniority in class. Could be all ERJ or all CRJ or (most likely) some of both.

Hmm. Interesting new process if true. My question is which contract will you be under during indoc? Because training pay and acommodations are different between CRJ/ERJ.
