Spot on good advice. I've punched my ticket after hanging on for 10years until going backward from capt. managed to avoid the lateral to env or endv going lcc. But anywhere is better than waiting here I feel.

Congrats! My 4 year plan here turned into 16:mad:. I finally made it out next month as well. And, thank God, I didn't have to lateral my way out either!!

Wait to get your bonus, and then GTFO. Don't stake your career on rumors, especially when they deal with an airline that treats planning as would a bipolar toddler (no offense to bipolar toddlers).

Is there a bonus on the ERJ side too? If so definitely grab you participation trophy on the way out.

Arliss 12-13-2017 02:40 PM

Yea the second $5000 on January 1

HuntinFishin 12-13-2017 02:57 PM

Yea grab you parting gift at the door. My understanding is about DEC 18th is the apropriate timing for 14days notice to collect the Jan 1st bonus.. If you were wondering when you need to tender the two weeks at..;)

Bipolar toddler!?, I think I'm offended :D

Arliss 12-13-2017 03:26 PM

I actually have some "wait and see" time as the earliest class date edv has is 2/12.

HuntinFishin 12-13-2017 03:36 PM

By then you should definitely see how this plays out

So that when it falls they can point back to the SELL timming that it was in fact well before first word hit official papers. Strategicaly brilliant kill 2 birds one stone. Hold the pilot group on hope of a rumor of a buy and cash in too.. ruthless CHESS not checkers.

I think you're giving them WAYYYY too much credit and severely over-analyzing the facts.

Really? maybe but maybe not. So UAL owns the 145s. stINC only wants to grow its 175 flying on paper and the surface sure UAL fixes its problem by purchasing us from stINC. But why would they let us go so we can be reinvigorated start hireing more pilots block out any chance OO gets more 175 flying from UAL. No they let the hemorrhage of pilots continue write off the loss to an unproductive asset then wait to sign a more lucrative CPA with their 175s staffed with .., well I've been warned about certain language. The bonuses from delta the rumor of a buy is from uninted all to keep from having to concede and do more business with stINC. Maybe I'm giving too much credit but I really believe they are playing a lot further down the board than rank and file thinks.
