It's sarcasm, not aimed at you though.

There were earlier posts by guys who were giving sh1t to people who may have heard things from places.

BL.....just because you don't hear something, doesn't mean there aren't things going on behind the scenes.

Stuff that is brought to pages like this are brought with varying degrees of confidence based on sources. I just laugh when people get bent out of shape when they read things, then discredit the posters who write them.

There have been rumors for YEARS. On and off for YEARS. Pardon my skepticism....

I feel your frustration. Trust me. We're all on the same side here though. We all want this to be a destination airline, we all want growth and upward mobility. I get the crying wolf syndrome though. At some point it's time to put up or shut up with some of the rumors.

So is it of everyone's opinion this LOSA email we received today that if you volunteer all that is provided is a flight and hotel? They aren't paying you for this? ***? Hopefully I'm reading the email incorrectly. Maybe a email from ALPA will be arriving soon.

Please send all responses for consideration to: [email protected]

Looks like you have a question to me. Why don't you email and ask? Better yet, when they answer why don't you post their answer here?

New totals

2017 -15
2018 -11
2019- 21
2020-28
2021-27
2022-27
2023-3

The schedule gets amended every 2-3 years so we'll see if the big growth happens in the early 2020's or not.

Openly talking about Europe sounds cool and everything, but it does scare me a bit. Hopefully the negotiations will include trip rigs/per diem adjustments and true international pay to reflect these possibilities.

Also the 321 is quickly becoming a major part of our fleet. The 321 is a 757 sized AC. Our pay rates need to reflect this either based on a blended rate that adjusts with the AC ratio or an override.

That said I prefer this news over a merger announcement with frontier/spirit/Hawaiian/Alaska any day!
