Nothing official yet from my company (ASA/XJT). Until I see an official memo, this is just a rumor. Then it's war.

Tony, there is no more ASA, its just Expressjet :)

I'm just busting your balls, its disgraceful if they do this to people trying to get to work to fly UNITED passengers.........

This is gonna really suck for flight attendants who can't always jumpseat and make even less than most pilots. At what point is the job not even worth it anymore for someone who doesn't make a whole lot to begin with but now has to pay to go to work? I wonder if UAX carriers may have a harder time finding flight attendants and FOs when the exodus starts. I guess this might be one way to take care of scope issues-UAX carriers can't staff properly because the job is slowly becoming not worth it for some folks. It sucks for pilots but we'll deal with it for career progression but we'll still need flight attendants for airplanes to go places. It sucks that now we get to pay a segment fee for practically no priority.

That's how it used to be at CJC. We paid per segment. Then they brought us up to the other regionals benefits where we didn't have to. Hopefully it's not like eagle where u list for jump and if u get a seat in the back u get charged.

It's a username... I don't fly a beech. You must fly meatballs then.

If you didn't want to have pass benefits that suck, you shouldn't work for a company that sucks.

I know guys making 6 figures flying a Beech all over the world, not just slinging gear pushing buttons.

Does this only apply to United express carriers, or all regionals, or all non United carriers?
