New AA Regional Aircraft Order
 

American close to regional aircraft order with Bombardier or Embraer


It wont be for L-Eagle since we are to costly.

I hope you guys get them... I have family in the MX base in TUL so I have a soft spot in my heart for AMR employees.
Although on the van yesterday there was an Eagle captain griping to my captain about our (9E) contract and how it was hurting Eagle, when he should be putting his frustrations into RAH and CHQ who are legitimately taking away your flying.

What do you think the 824 or whatever you call them will do to your company costs once they move on? Are they high seniority guys? I would think that once your flow starts then your costs would come down, no?

1. That Eagle CA is a tool. Its no pilot faults of what management is doing with AMR flying.

2.The 824 hasn't even starting yet.(maybe someday) it will take years to go through them if at all. They are the first 824 guys on seniority.

3. You said it."once the flow starts"......

4. Honestly, I dont want new airplanes at L-Eagle if we are going to fly them for Mesa wages. I rather shut this place down.

5. But massive movement and pilot shortage will help everyone!!!!!!!!

bonesbrigade, that captain was an ***. There is some truth to other airlines contract affecting others but it comes down to that airline pilots to stand up. What that captain was doing is passing the blame for his own stupidity. Should have told him you just signed a contract why is your union leadership negotiating changes, that is the true problem at eagle, a runaway uncontrolled corrupt mec supported by alpa national.

if eagle pilots want a better life then they should stop selling out for a maybe job at mainline that teh last time took 16 years to get it to work.

Do you ever try to get facts before you grace the Interwebs with your knowledge? "Taking away their flying"? Huh? You being serious? Do you realize that CHQ flies for AA under a contract that originated with TWA? Do you realize that SKW has been flying for AA for a year now and that Republic still hasn't received their first plane for AA yet? I know, I know, facts are stupid. Try to get 'me before you post nonsense.

PDT is supposed to get some of the new jets.

Hahahaha! Couldn't help myself.

Another strategic move by Parker. Eagle takes the paycuts and gets the jets. If not send them to skywest/rah/mesa.

Not saying I agree with the Eagle CAs methods, but if you think the decision by 9E pilots to cave on the contract concessions doesn't affect everybody else, then you are really being naiive. Pattern bargaining has ruled this industry for years so what one pilot group gets (or loses) affects everybody else.

What the 9E pilots did was well within their rights to do as a pilot group, and they did what they feel was best for them. But on the other hand, don't come around crying because other pilot groups are angry because they are now having to look at concessions because you decided to vote for a concessionary contract.

You might be right, it will fit in right with ya'lls pay and rules.

And you are well within your rights to just vote no, you don't want to have all these other pilots groups mad at you, do you?
