So why cast a vote that will help tear this place down? That place already exists, they're hiring, and they're offering signing bonuses. They have 47 modern airplane coming. In 2 years you'll be in a much better relative seniority position at RAH than you will be here. Psa upgrade is going to hit 7+ years soon.
Rah will only be coming down and fast. You should go for it seriously. Its your fastest route to a major.

 

Guys-

Just brought up a viewpoint. Fullflank thank you for keeping it conversational. I should clarify I wasn't so much thinking of us taking cuts as much as just adding onto what is and pay stays the same- sorry I wasn't clearer. I just want a balance of job security and realism.

We're all in this together whether we like it or not. I'm 10 years in on this business....it only gets worse every day.

 

So if the current 900's and 175's have 79 and 80 seats respectively, how many seats do you think these supposedly new RJ's are going to have?!?! Is Parker going to order bigger aircraft to put less seats than what he is flying in them now?

 

The USAir flying was done after they were sold to Pinnacle.

 

Flysooner is absolutely right! "Cool your own jets man... Seriously!!"

 

Ahh, you're right.

It's starting to get jumbled in my head, lol.

 

is this for real?

I mean: can anyone confirm that Parker actually said this?

 

Well, that's what has been discussed. And yes, it's true.

 

Thank Pinnacle for lowering the bar even further...

 

I wouldn't throw stones at Pinnacle, your union representatives are contemplating and listening to management's request for a B Scale. If Eagle allows a B Scale it will impact the industry more than what Pinnacle did.

Pinnacle had an 1113 filled against them, their Union reps turned down the company's proposal and went to the judge, it was found that the company was asking for things it didn't need. Then Delta stepped in and said you either accept this or we will liquidate you.

Eagle never had an 1113 filled against us, we took the first offer and the union spun it as a great accomplishment, they sold the idea of a furlough protection being as good as having a plan for the airline and 3 out 4 pilots who voted accepted the offer.

The Eagle pilot group is weak and haven't stood their ground. The union leadership and the members roll over every time.
