Why can't we all just accept that we will hammer out a contract in May/June and finally get this crap over with? (If it's acceptable). You guys on here spewing nonsense at each other are an embarrassment.

I'm touched that you care so much about me.

I'm just polishing those plans and working on plans D and E.

Is that why you're still working for a company lead by immoral people on a immoral business plan? Does that make you immoral because you continue to support this immorally operated company instead taking your valuable labor somewhere else?

Just asking a couple of questions.

They are plan B, C, and D for a reason. Plan A is to go to a major and try that out. I will do what I need to do on MY timeline! If this place goes under before then or if my interests dictate, I will move on to my fall back plans.

I wish all of us had a back up plan. It helps in the decision making process.

Because it's not that simple.

Thanks!
Less than ATL or IAD but I've heard a couple guys coming that are in sim training when I was there for recurrent last week. As far as being used I would say not as much. We only have 10 airframes and they like to have like 6-8 sometimes even 10 reserves a day which is dumb. Then on top of that they have been TDYing ppl from atl for no reason but to maintain high reserve coverage. And then use them over guys sitting that are DFW based which is annoying. Ever since 117 kicked in Crew scheduling's answer to everything is more reserves. With that being said DFW is a pretty chill base with some good guys to fly with. Hope that helps. Last month we had 61 FOs, this month we got 57. So if attrition continues there's good chance you can get DFW.

I agree... this having extra on extra reserve crap is getting really annoying.

Are you saying you are tired of the large amount of reserve coverage? It has always been excessive. Better get used to it.

The grand master plan is to eventually merge XJT and SKYW into one. The merged group will continue to provide FFD services while there will be a separate branded operation that will code-share with the legacies and other major airlines.

And why are there certain people on these forums that pit CRJ guys vs. ERJ guys? Newflash, we're all on short bus that is XJT. Seems like a few here are hinting that the CRJ side will be getting some more business...and this is a bad thing for the ERJ guys how? I'm on the ERJ side and hope the CRJ guys get some good news.

As far as the training center on the ERJ side slowing down........:
