So jetblew could be/might be a good place to work......but only if they reverse 17 years of established operations and pilot relationship in the first CBA. They aren’t suffering yet and this pilot group has not applied any pressure towards that goal. Oh wait....we paid for some billboards and newspaper ads.

They are minting money yet had to establish a committee to discuss for weeks the possibility of giving us a $1000 bonus.

What do you suppose the odds are?

Not great.

Do regional airlines lose operational control this often? Today has been a total clown show. Knew I should have called in sick.

Oh and sorry.... book your own deadheads UFN. Yeah right.

Totally avoidable- No lessons learned from 2014 or the other irop collapses.
I feel bad for those of you trying to hold this together. Good luck today and tomorrow.

Enjoy another 1000 days of negotiations, that's all I've got to say.

Yes- the email begging us to work had pairing segments originating out of base like San-Bos so I guess if you wanted the 💲, you’d obviously have to DH there and operate back. But they gave instructions to list yourself for the dh.

Can Someone confirm that? This is conjecture.

Do they at least know which crew is in which airplane...or at least which airplane is in which city? In 2006 they had us all come into the airport during one storm. There was a gaggle of people in the crew room and they asked people to put their names down on a sheet of paper. Total cluster of an operation. I turned around and went home. They had no clue who was there. They didn’t even know where airplanes were.

I think that was a week or two after the Valentines Day Massacre.
