I'm sure Airways will make it worth their while.

or rather that airways had clauses built into those agreements that let them repo the planes after a certain term and with certain condtions

Fourth i got through upgrade just fine: just sign the release, make sure i have p fuel, fo is alive, put the gear down on landing. Its not that difficult kids. So next time make sure you Read and understand what you read before you make stupid comment.



PSA rates are at bottom feeder level, how would that not be a concession?

And it begins. We are in an entirely different spot than PSA is/was in. We lose 2 more planes this year and 3 next year to due to cycle limits, not because of lease returns or the need to park 50 seaters. That puts us in the mid 30's for line flying airframes. It's not SJS when your fleet is disappearing because they time out. PSA has the youngest CRJ fleet out there. Their planes weren't going anywhere. They just wanted 900's so enjoy flying them.
That being said, if we do get the same deal that PSA did, it's a NO vote for me.

"Bottom feeder level" = still higher than most regionals. Don't forget / mislead we got them for our current rates that were negotiated earlier this year and there is a raise in the hourly rate per each airframe we get. So no.... Not bottom feeder. Sorry, your post is just inaccurate.

Have a good day.

Aw, wahhhhhhhhhhhh. Cry some more. We had the same threats shoved down our throats and WERE in the same spot. I know some of your frames will continue to cycle out but have fun dealing with the idiots on this forum... "Hold the line!" What a crock of ****. I'll be the first to tell you I ain't making your mortgage payment, so I'm not gonna tell you to vote yourself out of a job

And by the way, it's all just rumor anyways. Nobody has approached us about anything. It's just "my buddy on the negotiating committee said..." right now. Our union has said nothing. As for right now, I'll just fly the planes until they all get grounded.

We don't even have a TA to vote on yet, so everybody just calm down. I've been told that if we do come to a TA for a refleet it will be a better deal than what PSA got. Apparently their NC left a few major things on the table, things that they didn't even know Airways was willing to offer, because they were so eager to get the new jets. Who knows if that's true but it's what I've been told by people I would consider to be in the know. I' think we'll all hear news soon enough, like as soon as late next month.

Default Do you know your Aircrafts?

The E 170 is a smaller Aircraft than the Crj 900 Psa is getting, so we want the same rates to fly a smaller aircraft. Reality check we need a new fleet or we will be out of a job. That doesnt mean im bending over for them just smart enough to know whats coming
