usmc-sgt,

Thanks for the update. Any word if the Q400 rollout is on time? EWR would be a very good base for me.

LOL. Sounds good to me, but I guess you aren't thrilled.

I hope they continue to find FO's to upgrade so I can hurry up and get MHT as my base. I hear there are 2 FO's ready there for upgrade. I know I am #2 on the list for the base so that's a positive. And I am #3 for PVD but I think that wil take some time if it's even around when my number comes up. So what are they having you do to keep busy until the Q rolls out? Semper Fi.

That's ture! Got word from a good source up here in YYZ. But for some reason they just don't want to annouce it yet, just like our routes for the Q400.

That's what I was told yesterday too. The Dash is a good ship, and it would be nice to be an all Dash fleet...but here's my problem with the whole deal...PAY! I don't want to fly a bigger a/c if I'm not going to be compensated. Also...we need Piedmont-like wages for the Q and the 200 if we really are going to get them...

Looking forward to next Fall when we can start looking at some sort of representation to bring on-board. We need a contract badly! Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "gang-buster" ALPA hobo's, but now that we don't have representation or a contract, I will be interested to see what Buddy Casey does to us at the turn of the new year when he is 'officially' in office full-swing...

OK...enough bickering...
