You heard it hear first! Flame away!
Flame-baiter

1 Our flying is protected within the Skyw group by our cpa.

2 xjt or Skyw doesnt award or shift flying to new types, Dal does.

And you're watching the condensed version. I had to watch the 2.5-3 hour version...twice because the viewer crashed with ten minutes to go the first time.

I wonder if this is the same boring British wanker that works standards in DTW?

Are we required to do this or is it just "advised"?

Why do you guys get to have your cake and eat it too, but we get left holding an empty bag? That doesn't seem fair does it? You want to keep your stuff, the fine. I want a big fat signing bonus. Like 5 figures after taxes

That doesn't seem fair? But it seems fair to you that the ERJ side concedes while the CRJ side is brought up to meet in the middle? What is wrong with each side just at least keeping what they have?!!! You don't lose ANYTHING and we don't lose anything. Unbelievable!

Skywest Inc purchased Expressjet. I don't think this rumor is true, BUT IF the Inc was going to do this to try to complete the merger, they wouldn't cut their nose off to spite their face in the process. They would just disguise aircraft taken off the CPA, that were going to come off anyway (for whatever reason) and let the pilots twist in the wind trying to figure out if it's punishment. Again, I'm not saying this is true. I'm just agreeing that they wouldn't give away profitable flying just to complete the merger.

If it is just "advised" then I advise them to not make it so ******* long. I'm not going to listen to Mr.Bean and watch those two guys do checklists for 3 hours.

If we're thinking of the same guy I've done trips with him and he always bought drinks for our crew on the overnights. Nice guy really.

That "boring" bit has moved on to greener pastures and doesn't have to deal with this checklist change now. Good for him for getting out of this place.
