And did your MEC a couple of years ago when JA met with them say that they would take the ASA CBA?

 

I know. Man, I don't know WHY I come back here. I'll take a few years off, then take a peak, and it's like I'm a moth drawn to the flame.

I think I'll take along break again. Better for the soul.

 

There are many very senior ASA CAs who commute from DFW to ATL. There used to be a ASA DFW base. I believe it closed around 2004.

 

Nope, read it first-hand on on the xjet.com story from BH. His initials are JD.

 

So many hurt feelings on this board. While I do agree it sucks that AE will be closing a domicile, I find it overly dramatic how some are acting around here. Was this latest news not expected? Hasn't AMR said in the recent past this would happen? All you AE guys and gals are acting as if you are furloughing hundreds and that Skywest Inc. stepped in and undercut everyone. Unfortunately this is what has become of the regional industry. I know it's sad some pilots will be displaced at AE. So is the name of the game. At my past airline, they opened and closed bases like it was fun for them to watch the pilots squirm. I very, very, very rarely heard another pilot say, "I feel bad for you." or "I am sorry this happened." And all this was going on while furloughing! In the words of so many in the U.S. today, "Just be happy you still have a job!" Hundreds of thousands don't.

 

Lame...... (filler)

 

I agree. Who posted that lameness? I am just getting tired of how the ExpressJet pilots are expected to apologize for this flying, even though it doesn't cause furloughs and it prevents them at ExpressJet. Do you honestly believe that the next time you have an AE jumpseater catching a ride home they would have givin 1 iota of a care about us furloughing because of the Delta reduction? Been there, Done that!

 

Try to understand this. Your airplanes will be painted in American EAGLE colors. NOT American Connection. That is an airline we worked hard many years for. So it's not just that your flying AA/AE passengers.

I know we got the airplanes from TranStates so maybe you will be joining our company and seniority list. Be sure our union is looking into this.

Try to understand your infecting a company many of us worked hard for.

 

THIS.

AS much as it sucks LAX is closing, this is the part that angers me the most of all the news recently (if I was LAX based, it might be different).

 

The last few posts show just how far this profession has fallen. It's now at the point the pawns don't even recognize their role on the chess board anymore and actually gleefully advocate the parasitic world they've been indoctrinated in. The regional industry will be an absolute dystopian nightmare in 5 years littered with drooling cannabalisic zombie-like dregs roaming the night in constant battle over each others scraps of flesh.

In fact, this horror show will be so fascinating, I think I'll be able to cancel my cable and watch it full-time.
