Ahhhhh, i see

We are likely to see the same thing at TSH, and SKW will do something similar after they adjust contracts. They have no need for some many certificates when SCOPE as far as restrictions have been almost eliminated. It will only save them money since they are implementing future cuts into contracts.

They did this last year lol

Last year was different, when this happened the company was doing a political furlough of 50 pilots and displacing 100 captains. It cost the company dearly as far as training cycles. Not all the displacements actually happened. They could do it again in an attempt to punishment to us but they know that it will cost them more than it will save. They are playing the whipsaw game and they won't stop until pilots make them stop as a whole. Not saying that isn't going to happen but the circumstances are different. But they could also park a bunch of airplanes and test the furlough protection but as long as we are hiring, airplanes remain full and replacement companies struggle to staff the flying I think we will be ok and this is not just for Eagle, it applies to al the regionals because we are all on the same boat.

I'm curious
 

What would happen if we gave management everything they wanted. Say we took the 1113 term sheet and then this "B" scale idea.
Would anyone want to work here?
Eagle gives newhires the option of a $5k signing bonus.
Are they having to do this because there is a shortage, or because no one can see a future.

If we gave them (management) exactly what they wanted, would anyone be here in 5 years???

For what it's worth everybody is having trouble hiring.

I just heard that the last class at Expressjet was supposed to have 18 but only 7 showed up. +/- 1 or 2 to those numbers but you get the point.

They all went to republic.. Why fly a dingy 145 when you can fly the Mac daddy 175?

Yes and yes. There has been, currently is, and will always be no shortage of people who are willing to fly jets regardless of the pay and schedules.

Unfortunately... I fear this is true. I have a former co-worker who is applying to Republic because they see it is a bright future and want to fly the E175. A friend who also used to work here at Eagle (got furloughed during the last batch), got hired at Republic and did not accept recall. When asked why, "This company is going places. They really know how to secure new flying. I don't worry about having a job."

Get back to them in about six months and see how they feel ;)
