It basically encouraged us (L-ASA side) to keep up the recent performance (D:0, A-14 etc) as RFPs are up for grabs and our mainline partners are watching us.

I didn't get it. It came from the MEC?

Yes.

May want to take just a moment and verify your contact information within MyALPA at alpa.org.

Yeah, it seems as if Bozo should take that moment as well.

It's funny since the company has said so many times they will NOT be bidding on any RFP's until a new contract is signed...

I think they mean retaining flying that is up for bid. Obviously the company isnt going to be bidding on any new flying.

I think they are still bidding on RFP's. Reason being because the RFPs that are out there are for long term contracts. Once they are awarded, it will be years before another opportunity comes along to gain additional flying or hold on to what you've got. (This being told to me by the MEC chair).

I hope so, I would very much enjoy watching "Operated by GoJet" stripped off and changed back to "Operated by ExpressJet" on the side of the N***CA 700's. Yes, I know that is a d-bag statement I just made, but whatever...

By the way, does either side have a ready made E-175 AQP program in place? It is my understanding that the L-XJT side has or had been working on an AQP program for the E175...
