You and I both know it's not about performance. It's about cost.

I think it's becoming more and more apparent that management's plan of winning RFPs by promoting quality despite cost is failing abysmally. It should be obvious to everyone by now that our mainline "partners" really only care about cost. Otherwise they wouldn't have recently awarded -900s to GoJets.

It's been about 8 years now since their plan was waiting for Mesa to fail. How did that work out? Now we're STILL trying to outlast Mesa, GoJets, TSA, and Republic?

I'm really starting to believe their real plan is to just tell us whatever keeps us working another 2-3 years until the lights go out. The recruiting website, the milestone anniversaries, the 'Reliability Success Plan" of the week, it's really all just a bunch of fluff to disguise a dying airline who has firm aircraft retirement dates, and no new flying on the horizon. it would be nice if management would just treat us like mature adult professionals, and have a frank conversation about the REAL state of this company, not keep blowing sunshine up everyone's butts.

I had a real frank discussion with a CP and he didn't paint a rosy picture of XJT(CRJ) future. re: shrinking

That's obvious considering TSA's recent abysmal performance!

It's the same line over at SKYW... MT constantly babbles about 'performance' and 'reliability' and our mainline partners will 'notice' when we continue to do these things. Wrong. SKYW hasn't adapted to today's regional environment, and instead is still living in the past hoping its 'reputation' alone will get them some more flying. Doesn't seem to be working out too well.

Hey. Not going to argue there. The company is doing their best to lose this flying. When the network at the SOC is up all day, the airline runs great. When it goes down every few days, we struggle. Not sure what is going on over there.

Yeah, exactly! That average contract helps keep your airline more profitable.

Is it true TSA had a 59% CCF a few days ago?

So for strictly QOL, what are the chances of a new hire holding Atlanta? How long on reserve? I know about all the other problems going on at EJ but based on strictly QOL, ExpressJet might be the best bet for me. Any info is appreciated.

Should get ATL within 6 months. Reserve is up to 3+ years on the 700/900 in ATL. Not sure about the 200.
