The entire regional fleet is only going to be half of what it is now because the 50 seat replacement flying is 2 for 1. Combine that with the loss of secondary hubs, there is going to be a lot less flying at the regional level. That will make up for most of the "shortage".
I wanted to make my decision only after seeing it and I haven't seen anything in this contract that prompts me to say that I will vote "yes" to this. So, add another "NO" vote from the ASA side.

I sat st the airport for 11 hours trying to get out of DCA. LGA was shut down and I was pay protected for my 4 legs that day. Under the new rules, I would have gotten 3.82 (which really should have gone up to 4 or 4.5, but that's a different argument). I also recently got to RDU early enough to make it back to ATL on an earlier flight that was open when my deadhead was oversold. I was approved for the alternate deadhead, which was better for me, the company and Delta, but under the new rules I would have lost the pay for the last leg. That, among other things, is unacceptable.

I don't agree with XJT Pilot but I have to say that their concessions still exceeded whatever you guys had or still have in the regional contract that you worked for.

Ironically, there is only one pilot group that has never voted in concessions ....ASA. XJT, Comair, Eagle, Air Wisc., PSA, Pinnacle, Mesaba/PNCL, Mesa, Horizon all have. Well actually I guess GoJets and Compass haven't either, but they already have the lowest cost.

Since we know that our fleet will be reduced in the long run, why should we take concessions now for the inevitable?

LASA 2010 hire date. I'm a No vote to anything that doesn't pay me for my time. I deserve to be paid from the time I clock in to the time I clock out. I'll vote no to anything for the rest of my life that doesn't do this.
I'm excited that I finally get to voice my concerns with a No vote.

You guys know that FAR 117 pretty much takes care of these things already.
So far...
-Ready reserve goes to 6.5 hours instead of 8...credit pay remains 4.
-No more call for release for reserves....checking skedplus suffices.
-No more standby for an hour for reserves...or any period of time.
*Mind you this was a quick skim, please correct anything you see wrong
