Never applied, sorry to burst your bubble. I do find it odd that you think I was turned down from XJ and 9E, yet got job offers from ExpressJet and Eagle.

You can believe what you want but now that I live on the west coast why would I want to go to XJ and 9E as well. But thanks for the laugh. People that actually work at XJT, SKW, RAH, and Eagle know that me trying to get on with XJ and 9E is a joke. Quit trying to build your contract up to that level, it's quite pathetic

HAHAHA, waiting for someone to catch that.

Yeah commute somewhat sucks, but at least there are the red eyes. May even swing MSP this month since I have long call. Who's this by the way. PM me if you must conceal it.

what did you personally do to build up your contract and make your contract soooo much better than those ? or did ya just get lucky and walk into it as a newbie? "pathetic" is ripping on an airline who is actually working on a contract and in negotiations for 3 years and not willing to bend over for management. It's one thing to criticize one or 2 know it alls on here, but you always attempt to rip an entire pilot group.

Hardly. Not my fault they care so much about their on-time % when they haven't been given a new contract in 9 years.

Well, I work there, and I couldn't give 2 craps about on time performance or pizza parties for it. I think my on time hovers around 50%. I dont go out of my way to get on time, but Im not gonna deliberately delay. I know maybe 3 people here that take their good on time performance as a sense of pride, so there you go generalizing an entire airline again. Plus nobody was bragging about on time performance, he was stating a fact in reference to another poster...

You make no sense... you like to pat ASA on the back for getting thier contract, but you forget that it was 5 years after it expired! Yet pinnacle going for 3 years is bringing down the industry? You should be thanking a pilot group working for a contract which is fair and reasonable, which your company will base its next contract off of. You think you are so safe with your new 7 year contract... if Continental doesn't consilidate they are a likely victim to ch. 11 which would wipe that contract out. You may soon find yourself applying to 9E, espicially when we have and industry leading-average contract. Luckily most of us don't know your name cause you certainly wound't be welcome in any interview I conducted. If anything you should be taking this oppourtunity to create bridges and oppourtunities to other places instead of putting yourself in a hole at XJT that you cannot escape.

Mooney, that's good to hear! Maybe you should start the Fly Safe campaign at Pinnacle and get your contract ratified by next month. Just ask the ASA guys, it worked. Also why don't you guys merge with Colgan already. I'm getting sick of hearing those guys complain all the time about their work rules and then complain about unions. Hmmm, I wonder why your work rules suck.

Sorry never will take the 9E plunge. Thanks for the threat too. CAL going bankrupt would be after all legacies you fly went bankrupt, so good luck with that. I do welcome you all over at XJT when we start hiring again. Then you can share in higher pay and work rules. No black balling of you over here.
