I don't think that's the company turning it down. I think that's the pilot group standing their ground against management and the race to the bottom. I think AWAC lost the contract because of that and the owners wanting a much larger profit margin. That being said, I'm glad the RFP was won by a decent regional.

I see alot of people bashing XJT on here and it would seem hoping for our demise; however, it would seem to me this is coming from the other regionals that don't have the balls to stand up for them selves and fight for the best work rules/contract in the industry except maybe Delta. You guys will never get it there is no legacy in the future for 60% of regional pilots, so if you don't grow a set and get of moms teet your gona be flying your E175 for substandard wages for the remainder of your career...I would rather go down with self-respect and not except anymore cuts then be included with your sorry a$$ bunch...Flame away chumps!
Xjt pilots will never except anymore cuts to save this POS job that you are destroying, mark my word...I think!

If you have any questions about this I would refer to the UAL MEC news media interview on 5/3.
"United passengers deserve United pilots", and United express flying have United passengers on them.
That sums it up.

As a United pilot told me last night "This is our problem and I hope to fix it and give you back the industry I once had"

50 seaters arent as innefficient as many of you think when compared to a 70 seater. 70 seaters are not the savior of profitability that they have been made out to be so stop drinking the Kool aid and regurgitating what your management has been blowing up your butts. 100 seats is going to be the next feather in the cap of management and they are pushing for it hard at the regional level. We have to stop them, demand a liveable wage at whatever regional we are at to reduce the incentive to outsource more flying, and support the CAL/UAL mec in negotiations. Why are some excited to see regionals get bigger?

Yes this is a great idea...might as well put in some contractual language for a hummer while on the overnight so that you can get to sleep quickly.
