Angry Expressjet MECs...Listen Up

If we don't get it together soon...we will be rearranging chairs on the deck of the titanic. NOBODY should be drawing lines in the sand at this point. We need to come together and find a solution quickly... ESPECIALLY in the atmosphere that Pinnacle has created.

What needs to be done now? A live parallel run of Smartpref and a comparison to Flightline? Get er done.

From a concerned dues paying L-ASA constituent....GET HER DONE. Many of my peers are starting to echo this sentiment. Let me be clear...this thread is not about failures that have happened so far...but it is about things that need to be done in the future to get this settled. This crap has gone on too long.

I couldn't agree more! Contact your reps and voice your concerns! If members ofthe MEC are not responding to these requests, recall them! If we test both systems fully and Smartpref does not come out on top im fine with that! Lets find the best system and move on!

Agreed. Can we get this done before an arbitrator completely screws us on a 70 seat rate.

Did you call your REP and ask him about this?

Don't blame an Arbitrator.

Yes. I did call my reps and it seems there may be some disagreement among them concerning our direction. I like most of you want this settled quickly so that the only ones arguing are US (the combined groups) and the company. Please call your reps. Let them know how you feel.

Here's an idea....Why don't you guys switch to Smartpref for Phase 1 bidding and let's see how it does. Then if your guys like it, we can compare the two. It doesn't appear your pilots want to use it for phase 1 bidding.

The arbitrator is simply using the industry standard.....It is the chest thumpers on your side that screwed this up.

You do realize that ASA, XJT, and Skywest are now the best paying regionals by a large margin don't you? The arbitrator simply looks at the facts. You and your fellow chest thumpers have been ignoring the facts for the past year and are now going to suffer the consequences of your actions....

We are willing to consider multiple senarios, you guys are only willing to accept one. You turned down third party neutral arbitration. Honestly Joe, how does that make us the chest thumpers? We have never proposed an ultimatum. It is a fact that you guys did. Again how are we chest thumpers?
