We (QX pilots) will stand our ground and would not fly the Ejets for the same as the CRJ. Period!!!!

This from the pilot group who proposed to Alaska management that they'd take over the MD-80s, fly them 80 hours a month for $80K a year.

Or 80 for 80 for 80.

Anyone remember that?

Let's not forget that QX CRJ drivers are currently the highest paid CRJ operators in the U.S. Now, Angle Lake is going to give them a choice: Gut their pay like they did to Alaska pilots OR fly Ejets for current book.

You tell me how that will pan out.

AAG management is crazy if they think they will get significant cuts from QX pilots. There is no arbitration clause like AS pilots had in their former contract, so how is Angle Lake going to force a pay cut down everyone's throat?

Also, E-Jets for CRJ-700 pay won't be happening either. Since everyone knows the E-Jets would be CRJ replacements and not growth, it becomes extremely difficult for management to sell the idea of more seats for the same pay. I know precisely zero pilots at QX who would vote for such a plan.

Actually, I don't remember that. Why would the pilot group of one airline make a proposal to the management of another? flame on....

I don't remember that MD-80 scenario either. That sounds like utter BS from a QX hater looking to incite animosity toward us. Let's hear your source for that one.

We are actually seeking to negotiate with the Airgroup from a united front with Alaska. Remember, the idea isn't to drag us down like you guys were (don't get me started on that one...), but rather to restore you guys WITH retro pay, etc. In-fighting within the Airgroup just plays into their hands.

Besides, you guys got a $25 Xmas bonus! We only got $16

I agree...ALK pilots will most likely be the first major to nagatioate a better contract, and thus will hopefully help pave the future for the rest. QX pilots stand behind ALK pilots...I just think it is sad that some of them don't send the same message.

Personally, I'm looking forward my free DVD of "50 First Dates" and one-topping pizza from Domino's. Party at my place in mid-February.
