Interesting opening to the CRJ MEC call in.
Chip and Wade Steel invited the MEC chairmen (ERJ and CRJ), to dinner. It seems SkyWest has finally realized that they need pilots and are exploring positive options to stop the bleeding and increase attractiveness of ExpressJet.
Something about a barn door and a horse comes to mind.
CRJ MEC chairman- “Some of our competitors underbid contracts and their alligator mouths outran their hummingbird rear ends."

Still, as tempting as it is to give Inc the middle finger that's not the job of our MEC's. Their job is to fight for the livelihoods of their pilots. Sometimes "manning up" is tough.

I wouldn't trust CC. When was the last positive thing he did for LASA?
Also, I heard that he, for SKYW Airlines, was under bidding the LASA bid for the UAL RFP.

Being combative and uncooperative will only hasten that plan. The phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face” is an apt one in this situation. Of course, some of the most vocal chest-thumpers on this issue don’t work here anymore. It’s easy to suggest a gamble with somebody else’s money, livelihood, family, etc....
Feeling this way doesn’t mean I like it, or agree with it. I just have a strong sense of self preservation.

I don’t work there anymore, and I’m not trying to play like I am any better or smarter than anyone else. God knows, I’m not.
I’m just ****ed about the situation. Skywest and delta really screwed a good bunch of people-and I’m angry.
It’s wrong, SKYW and delta both know it’s wrong, and they don’t care. After all the things ASA did for them..... All the furloughs we hired-and let them maintain dual seniority (pretty sure no other airline has ever done that.) And to see the way it’s turned out. I’m just angry.

It definitely sucks. But......when has business ever had anything to do with morality? I got my degree in business, and by the time I graduated I was disgusted with how business works. People get rich by exploiting others, not because they provide a superior product. Being on the receiving end SUCKS, but my kids gotta eat and for now I’m too deep on the list to make any moves except up. The “burn it down” crowd either don’t actually work here or have a side income and don’t care about anybody but themselves. If SkyWest wants to make it work now, I hope they pull it off. Do I have an ugly opinion of how they’ve treated everybody? Sure do. Does that affect how I do my job? Sure doesn’t.
