XJT is an isolated pilot group with obsolete aircraft. A sinking ship at best. Any new aircraft hopes is just to keep the pilots on the property as long as possible and extract as much profit as possible out of the aging fleet.

The company just loves this kind of stuff between the pilot groups.

No new aircraft, no contract, no merger, and still taking concessions....

Is that enough?

And with their concession pay rates they're still smoking just about every other 50 seat operator(and sadly most 70+ seat operators). Maybe you should take notes.

Can you define the bold part?

Weird, the only one I remember was in 2008 (voted NO).

When were the other concessions? What were the multiple LOA's/MOU's that have come since that improved the ERJ CBA?

Go read Section 26 of your contract. Your contract fails to protect you against concessionary or bankruptcy rates being used in arbitration. Furthermore, your MEC can shrug and point at the arbitrator. What they do not want to you know is that they asked the company to do this.

I don't think you quite understand our contract with United or the entire reason for Skywest purchasing us. Haters gonna hate.

You posted this 6/21/2012. Skyw stock closed at $6.74 on that day and today it closed at $13.60. I really hope you shorted the stock.

Quite simple. Let the next few months speak for themselves? Do you support you MEC trying to undercut another that they are supposed to working with?

Relevance and factual information have NO place on this board!
