Considering all the bragging you do about your contract, I'll ask again.....where is your contract already NOT industry leading? If it already is industry leading in most categories, where are the improvements necessary? Hell, even the old ASA contract was industry leading in many ways! Just because you don't like the terms of a certain section here or there dont even necessarily make them not industry leading. Sounds to me like you want more of an 'industry blowing totally out of the water contract'!

Although by way of comparison, our contract is better than most, we are still operating under a concecionary contract, section 6 needs massive improvements. You can't negotiate with the company's best interest at heart, or with everyone else's inferior contract in mind, that's management's job.

Thank you for proving my point though.

I don't know how I'm continually suckered into clicking on the ASA/ExpressJet latest and greatest forum looking for actual information...

According to section #14 of rules of the Internet, it reads as follows: "do not argue with trolls - it means that they win"

Thus we should all cease to reply to any of goaround's posts.

New CRJ class starts today. Anybody know how many are in the class?

Spoke with a line check airman last week who said 4 from the April class are gone. 2 quit, one before ground school was over and one before IOE was done, and 2 washed out.

Good luck to those starting today!

Hmm... Interesting. Don't know if I believe that. Anyone know where the new-hires will be based that started this week?

Probably about the same as the first class. 10 ATL, 4 IAD.

Why didn't they run a vacancy bid first before assigning the new hires a spot??

I was thinking good point, but the latest vacancy bid started July one so they may not have had to.

Don't know if you believe what? The new hire class was mentioned in a company memo from CT (I think) and I really did speak to an LCA. What's not to believe?
