I think we have been sold. Whatever airline/company purchased us probably wants to see what kind of qualifications and hours the pilots hold. That's what sorta makes sense to me. But who knows. Again..only my opinion.

Was thinking along the same lines... Maybe not sold yet but going up for sale... " We have freshly refurbished planes and look at our qualified pilot group! Today only Ill make you a good deal!". VPC prob sees the headaches ahead and just wants out... Just speculation but with such an odd request and no explaination. Speculation's all we got!

One thing it should mean is: bypass pay for everyone. At least, those who have 1000 hours of Part 121 time (i.e. those who meet the new regs for 121 PIC) should be getting bypass pay if this individual hits the line as a CA. Put in your bids for CA now if you have the quals. Then you have something to argue when you file the grievance for promoting out of seniority order.
That's probably the $45 million deal I've been hearing about. I don't think we can buy Q400s with that kind of cash.... what's the going rate for one? Maybe a $2 million down payment per Q and leases?
