you are mistaken. He clearly stated he was flying the Saab, not the Q400. The Saab has 34 seats, and can hardly fly the routes that the ERJ can. Be angry about the Q400, I can see that. But the Saab? Might as well be mad about the E120 Brasilia and J31 too then. Heck, the B1900 too, seeing as how it's faster than the Saab!

WHAT!?
Wow, why don't you tell that to the CAL pilots? No wonder we have a problem in this industry.
All CAL flying should be done by CAL pilots. Just because its a Saab, means it should be done by Colgan, especially with the pay for the 70-seater.
I love the continual XJT bashing by the way and total ignorance that Colgan is doing nothing wrong to the CAL pilots.

What does that have to do with helping to defend my brothers at XJT that were and those at CAL that keep losing their flying. Not surprised by your comment Toilet

Actually, if you are referring to this post:
you are mistaken. He clearly stated he was flying the Saab, not the Q400. The Saab has 34 seats, and can hardly fly the routes that the ERJ can. Be angry about the Q400, I can see that. But the Saab?

Just kidding.To go back to topic here I don't think 9L and 9E will be integrated anytime soon, looking at how management feels, it will be a long fight. 9E pilots have been getting jerked for the past 3 yrs about their contract. I would love for 9E to get their contract, us merge with fences and be a happy family just don't see it happening for years, specially with the economy.
And please if you were not part of your company getting an union stop bashing us for failing our first time! YOU have not a single right to talk. Anyone else that fought for their union is welcome to provide advice on lessons learned. We are our worst enemy and until we start to care about each other I don't see this getting any better for anyone.

The fact that you see it as a defense in the first place and secondly that your "brothers" aren't looking for anything to defend. No one is blind to what is happening. You keep looking to place blame when there's no blame to place. The rest of us see this. FYI CHQ wasn't the lowest bid by any means. Mesa and PNCL both were lower. Perhaps you should realize the industry is ran by people that aren't pilots and don't share the opinions of pilots instead of doing what you can to hold others accountable for managements decisions.

I do think it is managements fault. It's funny that you and others just always seem to turn it around and say us at XJT are complaining. I know it's not the pilots fault. You guys just keep ignoring what is happening and then just say something bad about XJT to distract from what I was talking about.
Your game is very obvious.

See, you did it again. Keep twisting everything I say. You only have one track way of defending yourself here and that is to say the other person is crying and attacking you.
Man, I'll be surprised what comes out of your mouth next.
