I was stating that my understanding of the A-M decision included in the FAA Reauthorization bill is that it does not apply in a union and non-union integration due to merger or acquisition.
I have since been proved incorrect in my assertion that SkyWest is not subject to the RLA.
I further pointed out that if any integration was not amenable to both pilot groups, it would go to court anyway as there is no precident (therefore, no pertinent legal interpretation) for such an integration.
Furthermore, since the the A-M language does apply it says basically that the entities will be operated separately until it can get sorted out. ASA?
So, in my opinion only, If there were a merger with XJT, they would more likely be merged with ASA than with SkyWest. However, If SkyWest acquired MAG, I think there would be a different outcome based purely on the strength of the different MECs.
What do I know, though? I'm just a dumb pilot flying for a non-union carrier.

Seriously though, arrogance is always bliss.

BTW, there are no pilots here who started IOE with less than 1000/100 seeing that's our hiring minimums and they're quite strict with them. Yes they've dropped them down to 850 for current 121 pilots how have jet time but they're different than you 170 FO's!

The best part is that you think because we’re non-union we must be uneducated. I’m sure you’ll say “I didn’t say that” but guess what, you postings say otherwise.

P.S. xjet has the best contract in the industry, I really really really wish I had a job with them.
This thread had nothing to do with Xjet or unions, in fact I'll have to go back and read but I think he brought up both...
Anyway, Herc, Where did you see our lines will be reduced in ATL by 2%? I'm just curious I was hoping to be off reserve in May.

MRY and SAN are not likely, but I saw a couple SBPs and SBAs this year. Most do go to FAT and PSP, reserve in those bases can go pretty quick.
