Proof they need us more than we need them
If you have read you Co. Emails, there is proof they need us more than we need them.
"They", the Co., seem worried pilots will dequal tonight for not completing required training. While I think it's unprofessional, and those who don't complete the training should bear the cost of dequaling, it is proof that XJT, both sides, is not staffed and they need pilots to operate.
Stand Firm. And vote NO.
Now go back to the table and get us an agreement we deserve.

From: the correct seat
Not just for Eagle pilots. A few months ago, PSA lowered the bar. Now Eagle pilots are being asked to stoop to their (PSA) level.
If Eagle and XJT accept the proposals, SKW will be the next target, then Air Wisconsin, then Horizon, then Mesa etc.
By the time that cycle is done, we'll all be flying 90 seat "RJ's" and management will outsource more of the flying to regionlas, which leads to fewer mainline jobs, and puts downward pressure on mainline salaries.
For the first time, the "shortage" may be a real thing, at least at the regional level. This is the only chance we've got at RAISING the standard, instead of actively lowering it.
Pilots of XJT and EGL have a chance to raise the bar for ALL regional pilots. Please think carefully before accepting concessions.

You missed the point...for you and I here at Eagle, it will remain status quo or worse. We will always remain under attack. As for Compass, as long as you're at Eagle, it will at least be status quo. Nothing more, but alway less.

They want lower longevity, but metering the guys flowing into AA.
