Maybe, no deal yet. We have been told if, and that's a big if, there's a deal, deliveries will be in 2016, so we're not going to get the first batch. Hope those end up at Eagle but I'm thinking it will probably be Skywest or Transtates/compass

I just hope you aren't agreeing to less than XJT, RAH and EGL were being offered.

Hopefully we don't get all of the above's health care costs, crappy min day and crappy vacation. For those rates I bet we have those concessions as well

that would make sense for the time line requirement for the new porogram, it usually is 12 months. so who does aag have for the deliveries begining in 2015 february, or have they delayed deliveries til 2016?

A program can be up and running in 5 months. Also, AAG already has an approved 190 program that can be adapted. First deliveries are in March 2015. Mid to Late August is the real deadline; but they want it done this month.

Would this be something that would go to a pilot vote? If so, what would it need to pass? Hmm...

There is no way they could get a training program up and running in five months. You can't even get the FAA to sign off on a check airmen in five months. You're also not counting that there are a lot of FAA positions that are vacant due to the sequester.

Don't worry guys, you'll be the only path to AA by the end of the year.
