See again more idiotic posting.

1. What the hell is l-xjt or l-asa... we aren't an F'ing legacy, there is no legacy involved with regionals.

2. It's one combined company on a single ops certificate. XJET combined really hasn't made any money at all since the merger but the combined company may return to profitability sometime this year....

3. You work work for delta too man. It's funny i swear when I leave atl in an RJ, and im following an ERJ, the guy in front of me says acey too. Now you work for AMR/USA too..... and also for SKYW.[/QUOTE]

No not idiotic. I don't work for delta. Dont have delta benefits or amr benefits. So if we don't have a jcba and a sli and delta starts piecing out your flying, guess what furloughs won't be on the erj XJT side...again if you look at the Skywest earnings call, the erj side is making a profit while as a whole XJT is slightly losing. Now simple math would be if one entity is making money but overall a loss, the loss has to come from somewhere, and that would be your side my friend. I am not trying to knock you since I want this crap done yesterday so we can move on as one real pilot group. I mthink you crj guys have to start being eyes wide open instead of eyes shut. Erj guys were like that at the beginning about no PBS. Now we are on board with a pbs after seeing what it could do for our QOL.

 

Seriously? For so long the XJT MEC has been crying 'No contract with PBS' and now you want to call out the ASA MEC?

The ASA MEC keeps shooting down SmartPref because the SmartPref programmers were unwilling or unable to fix the software to deal with several issues. The XJT MEC does not support PBS in the first place but seems to have sold you on an unproven, sub par program.

Take a look at the industry as a whole. Airline pilot groups with Flightline have positive outlooks on PBS. Airline pilot groups without Flightline generally do not.

If the XJT MEC had not held the line on so many areas, we could have had a contract by now. Retro pay, no PBS, our work rules or no work rules, etc. Unfortunately, the XJT MEC's inflexibility made the bed we are currently laying in.

Burn it down if we don't get retro pay. Burn it down if we get PBS. When the time comes, 90% say burn it down but 85% vote for cuts.

 

Welcome to the 15% club. You'll be comforted to know the future of your industry is safely in the hands of spineless whiners.

 

Things are really turning around in this industry, the GoJet guys are making fun of the other regionals now! All Pinnacle's fault, soon GoJet guys will be calling the rest of us bottom feeders.

Fyi. Legacy means : of, relating to, or being a previous or outdated.

When guys here say Legacy they are referring to the "old" or formerly known. When we call airlines Legacy such as AA is because of how long they've been in operation and compared to the competition they are Legacy or the remaining ones. But you work at GoJet so I am not expecting much out of you![/QUOTE]


Thanks for clearing that up. It makes complete sense now.

 

 

this will not be a concessionary contract or there will be no contract. I can live with what i have and have the ability to feed and live quite well without this industry. That's called thinking ahead

 

He didn't seem optimistic about much when I stopped him in the lounge recently. Certainly didn't share in the bravado ASA pilots have been afflicted with on and off since the merger was announced.

 

You will not have the option to vote on a pay rate. Your MEC will do it for you.

 

They haven't even gotten to the financial cuts to the XE side yet. You think this is a stumbling block just wait.

Pictures at six!

 

There are only a few items the MECs are apart on BUT when it comes to ASA management wanting financial cuts you can bet XE items will be at the top of the list after the 9E deal.
