And this benefits you how?. Do you really expect them to fix that with an old *****y 145 50 seat jet and just let some e175 sit idle or go over to china? No lol they will just renegotiate With RAH or another carrier flying new mettle.
you guys are trading one *****y old plane for another. Get over your self.
I used to fly the dash 8. Fun airplane to fly but its time to burry the thing along with the 145 and the basta*d red headed mike fifley

So you're going to answer the question like a politician because you know you're wrong? Got it. Well, for a snapshot of today's fleet you are correct.
How about this, I'll dumb it down for you. How do you expect PDT to start up a 175 program for AAG when the next 40+90 options are already spoken for?
The reason I'm giving you such a hard time is because you talk out your @$$ and stick up for the crappy choices you made which have in turn degraded the profession. Sorry if it sounds like "buzzword bingo" to you.

Ok I see a few problems with this first env just announced its size will be cut in half by dec 2015. Yes for a little while they are picking up slack from rah but Mesa and sky west is already biding on that like flies on **** . And u know they are going to win that bid. A 900 can get in to aspen just fine just can't take a full load plus they still have the 757 of aa going in their. So you are not restricted by much. Envoy stood up to main line and I am proud that they did don't get me wrong but it looks to me and most others that they are dismantling them one plane at a time. And Pdt well they are just sitting on the side lines with an unsure future and dosent fit any model that well. Not their fault but it is what it is.
The reality with Aspen is that it needs to be certified by the FAA. It takes about 2 years to be approved, so it's not as easy as you think.

Just got the offer yesterday. Considering switching from Mesa. Pay is 15% better basically across the board and benefits are much better. Consolidation does worry me but so does 1% profit margains and bidding wars at mesa.
Think im gonna make the jump though. Only 2 of us got the offer out of 7. Kind of suprising. Had navy/ ex united guys, cargoguys, flight instructors. I was one of 2 that had prior 121.

I'm going to guess you've been in the industry for well less than 5 years, yet somehow you seem to know everything. And I'm the one who has no idea what I'm talking about? Right. Enjoy being hated on by everyone, although I know you "don't care."

You're too dumb for words and I'm on vacation so I'll keep this brief. Yes you did say something about PDT starting a 175 program down the road, that was the whole point of me calling you out.

If youre so mad why not just quit? If you put this much effort into getting out of the regionals maybe you could. We can argue over planes, payrates, etc all day long at the regionals... Bottom line is it doesnt matter bro. Management and the powers that be will win. Our partnership with ALPA and the RLA have sealed our fate. Until that is over.... Well im sorry but were stuck with it. People can complain and bash me for that post but its the reality. Youre not holding the line for Sh** by voting no on anything unless it was re unionizing apart from the majors. That is all.
