1. Paycheck has betting getting closer...That's no surprise. That was the goal.

2. Work rules have been getting closer..That's no surprise...I wouldn't trade my QOL for yours for any price.

2. "Scope of operation"...Can you clarify that one?



Ask your 3 year FO's what they make and how many days off they are getting. You're what % at ASA? I'm in the bottom 10% and my pay is more and QOL is almost equivalent of yours.


Scope of operation- worldwide flying. Rotations where some are built like you do all the way to 12 day international trips and everything in between. You pick what you like.

VERY different companies.

You're incorrect.

Eagle is a code share partner for Delta out of LAX.

Codeshare Partners

I should learn to NFTT, but guys like Breiling will figure it out when it's too late...:rolleyes:

ASA's current furloughs don't affect him. Air Mekong won't affect him. That Skywest is grossly overstaffed won't affect him. That there will be a contractual prorate reset for the contracted flying he operates won't affect him (too quickly). That the number of ASA contracted DCI aircraft operating is projected to decline from 141 to 16 over the next 10 years won't affect him (too quickly).

It is all about him...:p

True, when that was announced years ago, ACA was hoping to take advantage of that since there were already a DelCon carrier, and the FRJ would have been a perfect fit for most of that flying. But again, not a pilot pay issue what so ever.

That is what the 10K states. 16 jets in 2019 (off the top of my head)

I agree and the way DCI is operated and run will change greatly in the next few years. When I saw what I saw, it made no sense to stay at any seniority.

Having a paycheck from the guys selling the ticket means a lot.

I don't know it that list is totally correct. I haven't heard of Delta/Eagle codeshare from anywhere.

We have code share with AMR Eagle out in LAX for about 10 years.

They know exactly what they are doing so the question is how do you beat them at their own game ?

Fred


You got to think who was it that rubbed the bottle. After all, the mainline carriers didn't do this unilaterally it was agreed upon by the pilots.

"I don't care, as long as I keep my pay, QOL and seat" That is what created the regionals:rolleyes:

In an effort to protect the FAE for the pensions. That is now gone for most airlines.
