They let you fly airplanes even though you don't know am is morning?!:D;)


P.S. Eagle is DOOOOOOMED!

We all saw how well buying other regionals went for Pinnacle. BB is back pedaling from his Frontier/Midwest disaster. Skywest aquiring XE and ASA hasn't been the smoothest either.

The sky is falling!!

I still stand by my comments. I will ride it till the end. Lets see, Eagle or the soon to be low cost carrier AA?

Just flow, if not you will get pay freeze, PBS, paycut in 2016.

It's your decision. ;)

Oh look. Another RJ Pilot thread!

His last one went so well. You know...the one where he swore he had "confirmed" sources which wasn't Eagle Lounge. Only for later that day we all find out in fact that rumor only existed on Eagle Lounge and had no basis on reality.

Not gonna lie it would be hilarious if TSH bought 9E and merged them woth Gojet, one big cheap happy family. You think Colgan had career expectations?

Wait, wait, TSH buys Pinnacle merges with GoHo's and spins them off to Republic who then parks the airplanes and pref hires them all into the Q400. Staffing issues solved!

Yup. ALPA has no real merger policy, always reverting to binding arbitration so they can just walk away with their hands clean. At the end of that merger, arbitrator Bloch gets hired again, paids thousands of dollars, and he will hand down another screw job of a seniority list integration. Rinse, repeat.

Pilots shouldn't have binding arbitration. It should be a SDSTFUAWIO policy.... Sit Down, Shut the **** Up, and Work It Out policy. It doesn't matter who is trying to screw who. No one should be merged until both groups decide to mutually agree to something for SLI purposes. Far too many egos, far too many "well, we had career expecations on the Qs!" or "hey, we are bringing the heavy whale to this merger, they only have 777s!" I guarantee a list would eventually come out. Management can add the enticing factor. For example, Colgan getting its planes parked. Once that is known, you can bet their committee would quickly shut up about a relative merger and then beg for anything, even DOH. So to summarize, let pilots work it out. If they are still slow with no end solution, then let the individual airline plans materialize (which means some airlines park planes or gain planes). Either way, as separate airlines, the pilots will come to some sort of terms real soon otherwise be screwed.

Leaders at SkyWest have said publicly that they would not buy another regional. CoEx purchase was a mistake and they'd rather grow "organically". At least that's what I heard from a hotel van driver.

I personally think SkyWest wants to grow AA feed aggressively.
