Go read up on the MAIR Inc/Mesaba Airlines bankruptcy and report back.

 

That really depends on how debt, leases, and contracts are structured, but I hope you're right.

 

MAIR Holdings.

 

Since 777 Forever is still furiously googling, I'll help him. In a nutshell, NWA went bankrupt and withheld $25m from Mesaba Airlines, while grounding half their fleet. MAIR bankrupted the Mesaba division while keeping MAIR and other sub Big Sky solvent. MAIR later sold Mesaba to NWA and the rest is history.

Delta is currently run by former NWA management.

In September, 2015, ASA (dba ExpressJet) faces the next "rate reset" when we must be the second lowest operating cost carrier in the DCI "portfolio", or Delta has the right to cut our payments to that of the second lowest cost carrier. At least half our 50 seat fleet also expires at that time. SkyWest Inc then has the right to terminate the CPA with Delta, or take the pay cut at that time.

Sound familiar? The cards are falling into place and everything is going according to plan. But don't worry, everyone at XJT will be given the preferential interviews at SkyWest Mainline.

 

So, Delta buys PNCL drives there cost down and then uses those new cost to reset rates. Seems like that wasn't part of the agreement originally agreed upon. So your telling me the Regionals went into a good faith agreement knowing that all delta had to do was buy or start another region and undercut them to get out of paying on the original contract rates?

I see lawsuit written all over this.

 

1. What are the family flight benefits like at XJT?

2. New hire likely to get ORD? What equipment?

3. What is reserve like?

4. Any other helpful info.

Thanks in advance guys.

 

You should see the posts on multiple threads on the pipe about this. Especially the 45 page 500+ post thread that started last week.

 

1. Useless
2. Who knows
3. A nightmare the devil himself couldnt dream up
4. Choose a different career.

 

1. get
2. a
3. new
4. job

if it's sooooo bad for you, then it's time to move on and not make the people around you miserable.

 

1. You get first dibs on seats on XJT flights (Unless a United mainline employee uses thier vacation pass)

2. Basing and equipment assignments are purely based on seniority within your class. If you want an ERJ specific base, then bid all the ERJ bases first in order of preference. You can always switch domiciles later.

3. Reserve isn't that bad. It could definitely be better, but if you live in domicile that'll make it much more bearable. I'm CRJ and our reserve rules aren't as good as the ERJ side.

4. Don't listen to half the crap people post on here.
