THIS POST MADE ME LAUGH!!!!

Are you freakin kidding me????????

WHAT A JOKE!!!!

 

No response to me calling u out? Whoo! I said whoooo! Ashley Schaefer BMW!

 

You probably won't be excited to be unionless when JB gets bought.

 

Then there is not a true equal standard of representation....

 

Nope, no joke at all. No regional ALPA MEC can tell ANY other airline MEC what to negotiate for. Each MEC is an independent union, especially when it comes to what they negotiate for. Mainline MECs negotiate with mainline management on the scope of their job. Once that is settled mainline management puts out an RFPS for whatever flying the mainline MEC was unable or unwilling to scope in. The lowest regional bidder wins. Then the regional management negotiates with regional MECs on the pay an work rules for those scraps. There is never a time where regional management or regional MECs have any say in operating bigger or more aircraft. It has already been decided between mainline management and mainline MEC. Also, at no time does any mainline MEC or regional MEC tell any other MEC what to negotiate for. And if they did, they would be laughed out of the room. The regionals exist ONLY because mainline MECs cannot or will not scope that flying. It's their flying to keep or give away. They are the ones who let us regionals exist. Therefore, no conflict of interest whatsoever.

 

What do you mean?

 

Regional unions push for higher wages at regional airlines which makes it more difficult for regionals to undercut mainline flying. I don't understand how there's a conflict of interests. Higher pay at regionals might deprive regionals of flying, but it certainly does not hurt mainline pilots. Lower pay at regionals undercuts mainline pilots so a weaker regional union is bad for both regional and mainline pilots.

 

Operator of Delta Connection names CFO - Atlanta Business Chronicle

looks like the old silver CFO is now at pinnacle. good luck.....

 

I don't know about that. According to DOT stats, eagle has one of the worst on time performances. In addition, buzz from US management states that eagle does not make money in its current form, and in event of a merger, their operation would need to be drastically modified.

 

source?? The DOT stats I think are slightly skewed, since we are larger then many we are compared to. We have been making the on time and completion bonuses all year.
