Seriously????? Let's see -- lets average all the lowest paying regional wages, and throw in one high one -- lets come up the lowest common denominator possible, then establish the pay rate. Oh yea - we will guarantee you an interview but not a job at the SUPER AA.
I am all for everyone needing what they need to do protect their own, but this is one that should be flushed away. I cannot believe they are coming back for more, but pay out millions in executive bonuses and believe we should eat their scraps to support their mismanagement.
Prediction -- under Parker's management AA will be back in BK court within 5 years! Building a company where everyone feels underpaid, and under-appreciated has proven to be a recipe for disaster. I hope Jet Blue, Spirit, and Southwest kick our ass on every domestic route and all we have left is international.
Rant over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like RJ Pilot said, word coming out is that the MEC rejected the proposal altogether. However, there has yet to be any correspondence to the pilot group that we even received a proposal in the first place. A proposal which was received last week.

Can we stop throwing everyone under the bus every chance we get?? It's just as easy to say, "Look at what happened to those strong Comair guys," etc.
Nearly EVERY airline pilot group has taken concessions. STOP HATING. It isn't helping. Maybe we should find a way to unite pilot groups instead of continuing to bash one another. I'm so fed up with this bs.
Guess what? There's going to be new regional in the next five years. They are going to be worse than (insert worst regional here). And guess what? People are going to leave to go there for the quick upgrade.
We, pilots, will NEVER learn. Management always wins.

Uhhh.... my pilot group has NEVER taken concessions! It's easy to hate on 9E. They are the dregs of the regionals, combining two of the worst regionals in history... Colgan and Express One. It's a shame that Mesaba is guilty by association with these two "exemplary" regional pilot groups.

Yes, Eagle is back on hiring at a fast pace. Almost close to those 600 projected. Actually about 550 more to meet that goal!

At least we are moving forward with the best culture in the 121 world - Mesaba's. I'm proud that we are adopting their procedures because clearly they were the class of the airline world.
