I wish, we could get rid of ALPA and get on with APA.

But the way I see things, I can't keep my hopes up because we keep getting beat up. :(

+1. I don't know why you regional guys put up with ALPA. Join APA and heck at this point even a janitorial union would be better.

At least a janitorial union would stand their ground for the members.

Any word yet on the outcome?

"The parent company of American Airlines, which is in the midst of a federal lawsuit seeking to block its proposed merger with US Airways, posted a profit of $289 million in the third quarter."
-USA Today Oct 17 2013

That is a quote regarding the 2013 Q3 results. How can they possibly ask for concessions when they are making $289,000,000 dollars over 3 months?? Let that number sink in. What a bunch of greedy a$$ holes in management. It's disgraceful that they have the nerve to ask Eagle to take a concession. I'm offended and I don't even work there. If anyone takes a concession right now then there is no hope. I hope the MECs protect y'all and tell them to go pound sand. At SkyWest the rumors are that we are about to get offered raises. Everyone else should too.

Brown Streak already did. Every management wont stop until you are "competitive" with Brown Streak. No hope.. Move along now.. nothing to to see here.

Looks like the MEC and the company haven't changed their "keep the pilots in the dark" policy.

Sarcasm or legit?
