Don't believe everything you hear. Things come in packages sometimes.

I for one am glad we have some vague, nebulous speculation again. Nothing like a disappointing non-rumor to start my week!

Enough to make it happen.

Don't announcements always happen on Friday at 5pm, so management doesn't have to deal with the fallout.

I don't think you are a troll, so I hope you are just seriously mis-guided. I can't think of a single pilot that I work with that would be willing to take any reduction in pay/qol to fly an EJET.

What experiences have you been having to give you this opinion of your coworkers? My experience on the line has been the opposite, but maybe that's because I take such a hard line stance from the outset of conversations.

Thank you. This was what I was trying to get at with him.

@Kilroy:

You keep talking about shiny jets and how we as a pilot group will give in. I sure hope that you are not one of them. I don't know how long you have been at the company but you sure seem to think that you know the stance of the majority of the pilot group. Either way, the only way to change the minds of those that you know will take the concession is by educating them and then hopefully, they will make the right decision.

By the way the information that was sent out was talking about another meeting in Sept. Right now no contract deal.
Except you have ExpressJet confused with SkyWest "Mainline".

The AA/US merger hadn't yet been announced when that rumor was hot. I submit that it would have happened had that merger not put everything with AA on hold.

Correction: Good news comes out early in the week (Tuesday). Bad news comes out at 1630 on Friday so they can hit send, run for the door, and deal with it on Tuesday when they actually sit back down to work and everyone has calmed down.
