I hear you but for some reason the fact that they mentioned "Comair" in the e-mail makes me think that they are already scared that might happen to us. I am probably over-thinking the whole thing but something just didn't sit right.

Every management team to instill fear mentions comair and or pinnacle.
If you want to be at the bottom and make less that McDonald's employee does feel free to take the fear grenade and run with it.

One thing for sure, make it cheaper at regionals only means more flying on large aircraft will come and long time to get to mainline if that is your goal.

Management has time on there side, pilots don't.

Management has a pilot surplus on their hands.

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I am not at all threatened or have taken the "fear grenade." I think in this matter, time might be on our side than theirs (management). I was just saying that from the union e-mail, they threw "Comair" in there and I have feeling that they (the union heads) think that might be our outcome.

I just started class at xjet for the CRJ, I'm currently in ATL attending indoc and sims, we bid for our bases 2 days ago, is there any way I can find out what bases are open so I know what base I may be getting? We will get our base awards some time next week. I'm just anxious to see if I'll get my number 1 choice.

If I counted correctly, IAD lost a net of 8 F/Os in the last permanent bid (effective 1/11). My bet would be there or ATL.

If your a fan of the book and her philosophy, it is kinda cool to finally see it brought to film after so many tries.
The luxury the book has, that the movies do not, is time. There is a LOT of character intro and build-up in the book that the films do not have the time to do. So, if you have read the book (as mentioned.... Preferably more than once) you will be able to follow it and enjoy it. If not, you'll find yourself often asking who the heck someone is, and what the heck they are talking about.
D'Aconia's money speech, for instance, is a major speech in the novel that gets about 45 seconds of screen time in the second movie.
All in all tho, if you enjoyed the book, it's worth your time to watch...


Now back to our regularly scheduled "concessions? Ummmmm, NO!!!!!" Thread...
