My only beef with this is that I haven't heard anything from the union in the form of e-mail or any other mass communication. I had to hear about it on Yahoo! Finance. Gotta love the communication. Glad they were able to mitigate job loss. Makes me feel much better about where I sit. Now we get to wait for the details of the agreement....
Give it a try. Hope it helps.

Me personally am not sour towards TSA. I am more sour toward my mgt for doing it. The animosity between AE and TSA pilots i think is childish. It wasnt anything that was on "our" table to deal. i.e. out of our hands. We are just monkeys that drive the planes that overpaid white-collars give us.

I feel for the TSA guys. We as AE pilots are next to get furlough/displacement notices. This whole industry blows right now. We as pilots have to stick together against management who are the ones that play us against each other. No one I know is happy to see other pilots on the street. Good luck to us all!

AE Pilots were on furlough at the time of the transfer... The transfer occured b/c of the APA Scope limit that froze the ASMs at the regionals feeding the AA code when APA pilots were on furlough. That's when the AX code was born. AA was to "FEED" AX, therefor bypassing the APA ASM Cap. APA later won this greivence and lifted the ASM cap in 2003 thus stoping the transfer of more 50 seat rj's (only 10 of the 15 planned went).

Probably cuz TSA has AMR airplanes and CHQ doesn't. And CHQ isn't violating Eagle's scope clause with their flying. All CHQ does is the flying that we used to do for TWA. That was protected with the same merger clause that's in all of our contracts when AA bought out TWA. And that's the 5th time I've had to explain that this week.
