point making is the same as your reference in FWIW. Remember now American Eagle is a brand name and anyone can fly under the brand name. So when they talk about American Eagle, more safer to ask Simmons or Executive Airlines fleet plan. American Eagle brand will be 400 airplane, but what does that mean to Simmons and Executive Airlines the current AMERICAN EAGLE AIRLINES..

Simple twist and play on words, but that is enough to misdirect.
Yep........an old tactic being rehashed. Not quite a lie, but not really the truth.

And when it comes right down to it, that is the problem we are having with PBS and furlough "protection." The rest is either a pretty clear pay cut, increase in productivity or change in function.

After they mentioned the >216 aircraft fleet plan, I did specifically ask if that is for "us" Eagle or Skywest Eagle, Republic Eagle, etc...and he said its for us only. Again, who knows if they will change their minds or if that's accurate.

There's a lot of things going on and being said about our future (such as the hiring)..it's just a matter of how much of it is true and will actually happen. I just go with what our "leaders" are telling us, with a little skepticism...but trying to look into my crystal ball isn't helping my chronic hair loss

Regionals are not subcontractors, they're contractors. There's a difference.

If they can put Skywest/Exressjet into American Eagle colors without "express, connection, link," on the end... Then it is only a matter of time until they put "Delta" on the side of a Skywest/ExpressJet/RAH/Pinnacle/Mesa/AMR Eagle contractor.

That's still not an example of a sub-contractor. I don't know what you're getting at.

You are all idiots for making this a TA trash talking thread. It's about AE new hires. I must be the only one that believes pilots below you is good for you. Help these guys get on. There's plenty of TA trashing threads here on apc.

(I voted no but you guys are pathetic)
