You should be aware that a huge sticking point in PCL negotiations has been the company's desire to implement 200/900 dual-qualification.
The current MEC chair referred to this plan, prior to the defeat of TA1, as a "not if, but when" proposition. |

I believe there are contractual provisions for this....If you are on one aircraft or the other, that is what you bid and that is what you fly--not like guys that can do a 757 leg, then hop into a 767 kinda thing.

We aren't going to have to worry about it anyway....Delta pilot's are going to make sure we have no more 76-seaters due to the selling of XJ/CZ.

He's right. The 200 and 900 are separate the same way the Saab and the 900 are. The 200, 900, or Saab must be bid into and a line pilot will only be qualified to fly one or the other.
Being dual qualified is not a smart idea at all. The 200 is a lot more work than the 900. |

Much agreed... maybe the -200 rate should be higher then for all that extra work... packs, ignition, bleeds, non-fadec...don't forget that strenuous anti-ice system! I'm sweatin' just thinking about it! :rolleyes: |
I am sure pinnacle corp. will phase colgan into mesaba as soon as possible, due to the fact that colgan got such a bad publicity with the press....and that TV special

That would be nice, eh? I know you're kidding but I would dread going from the 900 to the 200 after not seeing it for "x" amount of time and then throw me in it during a 15 hour duty day and snow / thunderstorms. THAT'S what is not a good idea. |
