Vacancy? You do realize the higher ups are tossing the 'F' word around, and this time, I don't see it as a fear grenade. I knew it would happen. You can't park 36+ airplanes and not expect a single layoff. Our attrition isn't high enough to bail out a loss of several dozen airplanes.

soooo which is it? the F bomb because you can't park 36 planes and not expect a layoff, or we were severely understaffed? make up your mind...:rolleyes:

Not "WE" , only Pinnacle was understaffed. Not Mesaba, not Colgan. If it wasn't for this merger, you can bet XJ would have tons more furloughs. Some of them for the third time. The attrition has (finally) picked up, and people are leaving in good numbers. That helps avoid the 'f' word.

More Q's are coming. Conited wanted 15 Q's added every two years starting in 2008, for a total of 45 by the end of 2012. 2010's deliveries carried over to 2011 due to UA/CAL fleet realization issues, and other reasons as well I'm sure.
No more -200's are coming. They're leaving. The T-prop to jet ratio in 5 years may shock a few hard-liner jet jockeys here.

PS: after the 45 Q's, there are 60 options.... Do the math...
There's no doubt, but the deliveries, like you said, are not happening anytime soon. And you do realize that by last year of this JCBA, the CRJ-200 and Q400 match up to be exact same.

Btw, since you're a Colgan guy, can you confirm exactly how many Qs you operate right now? And how many are on FIRM delivery, coming for sure, for 2012 and onwards?

Are you not? I just assumed with a screenname of 'SLIBandit' you could only be a Colgan guy. I don't think there were ANY SLI bandits at Pinnacle.

Some pilots from each of the three made out OK on the SLI.....

What the heck are you smoking? Colgan has been short staffed for a really long time. Hell, I reached my max Junior Mans by May and that doesn't include the junior mans I had before that part of the contract took effect.

Little too much Kool-Aid drinking from a new hire. Step back!
Shy I am new to the flying side, but have been with the company in an operational capacity for a while. Because of my previous duties with the company, Shy, I know that you are the one who is full of horse******. It would be nice if you would talk to someone who has some clue about this stuff before spewing a bunch of misinformation all over a message board.

Dude everyone agrees that had Mesaba not been bought, and lost their Saabs, they would have had more furloughs. But in your first quote you said "the higher ups are tossing the F word around bla bla bla..." meaning POST MERGER (NOW). This new vacancy people are asking about is POST MERGER. My reply that you quoted was POST MERGER. Please keep your arguments in the same timeframe when you are caught with your pants down and not try to waffle. It doesn't matter which company was understaffed Pre or Post MERGER. Since at least 1 was, most likely 2, we didn't have to furlough, and we were telling you that we wouldn't have to furlough but you love to run around on this board like Chiken Little and the sky falling. In 3 pages you went from gloom and doom "I knew it would happen you can't park 36 planes and not furlough" to "the only reason we aren't furloughing is because Pinnacle was short staffed. Well which is it??? Mesaba would furloughed have PRE MERGER, nobody needs to now. What's so hard about that?
