The most recent letter from management all but said it: They're desperate. Get those apps in!

Embraer: If you are staying at home, I vote to be your "roommate". See you there.

Is that the one where your union lets management get off from a grievance about canceling vacations? It's unions who give in to management who make it harder for the rest of us to make a good contract. At negotiations all we here is "Look at Eagle. Those pilots accepted it." Thanks for nothing.

Get your facts straight. No vacations were cancelled. Pilots have options to forgo their vacations or go on vacation as planned.

Read it again. I didn't say they canceled vacations. Isn't your LOA to avoid management doing it? If your union had balls, it would fight them instead of let them have any agreement they like.

It would be nice if us on the ATR had the option to get 300% pay

You get bunked up with whoever is closest to your age. They just go down the senority list and pair everyone up. Unless there's a girl, she gets her own room regardless.

Us ATR guys got lucky, after the first week we got our own rooms for the remainder of training.

Sounds like reverse discrimination to me.
