I'm hearing that management stormed in and told the MECs that if they didn't TA/ratify this agreement, 66 CRJ-200s/660 pilots are on the street. Apparently the entire ASA MEC cowered in fear but only 3 of the XJT reps voted yes. AIP reached. Apparently management also threatened to transfer flying to SkyWest. Again.

Well at SkyWest for December on the RJ there are three reserve lines in Denver and zero for Palm Springs. Management knows we cannot handle anymore flying at this staffing level.

Apparently the entire ASA MEC cowered in fear but only 3 of the XJT reps voted yes. AIP reached. No paycuts, 1% raises, with no signing bonus (!). Everything previously discussed conceded on the XJT side, minor reserve improvements for ASA, and vacay low still exists, but only for 1 month, not both when vacation straddles months. IPs apparently get a large bump.

What I do believe is correct is that legacy XJT gave more concessions. Must not be too bad though if their reps approved it. I hope to see some reserve improvements. Its been brutal on the CRJ side. It would be nice to have a "call me first/last" option.
Can't wait to see the details of this agreement. Until then I'll keep an open mind.

How in the world could flying be transferred to SKW anyway? Where are the pilots to handle that? Scare tactics. Anybody read the news blurb on XJT.com this morning? Another scare tactic...
Im really hoping for the rumor that "if this TA gets voted down that management will just merge all three groups"
No Concessions!!!

How would this go down down with Skywest being non-union... could they do at that point whatever they wanted... pay rate, integrate... however they seemed fit? Isn't Skywest also in negotiations? I would think this could be a good thing.

Well, either you heard incorrectly, your source made that up, or you made that up. There has been no votes yet. The MECs haven't seen the final language yet. There isn't anything to vote on yet
