Enjoy the victory, but keep focused. Things may get harder before they get easier for all of us. With unity, we can continue to apply the pressure and make this a career worth having again.

While that sucks and creates an air of uncertainty among the ranks, it is no where near a "squeeze".
Status Quo is what Eagle has been experiencing for the past 3 years which is hardly any kind of hurt. It makes you apprehensive, sure. But doesn't hurt.
I hope this gamble pays off. I really do. I just think you guys aren't seeing the reality of the situation.

I'm hoping for the best. As a MIA Captain who upgraded two years ago I probably won't get displaced back to FO unless the crap really hits the fan. I worry more about absolute stagnation and others who probably will get displaced.
Either way, I hope this gamble pays off. It's not as simple as some of you make it out to be. There are a number of factors which have to come together for this to go even slightly our way. In the end, AA may come back with the same offer or a slightly worse one...at which point we vote it in anyway because of how horrible things have become.
At which point all of this will have been for naught. But again, I am hoping for the best right now. I have just as much to lose and gain as every other Eagle pilot at this point.

XJT MEC Alert
28 March 2014
ExpressJet Pilots Stand Proudly with the Pilots of American Eagle
Today the pilots of American Eagle voted against a concessionary contract by an overwhelming margin of 70%. The ExpressJet MEC would like to convey its support for their decision to join other pilot groups at Fee For Departure airlines who have resisted the downward pressure on pay, benefits, and work rules. All pilots must stand together during this challenging time. Your MEC will continue to support the American Eagle pilots. Only through unified action can we change the industry. Today is a continuation of our ongoing support for our brothers and sisters at American Eagle.

Good work Eagle guys and gals!
The pilots of XJT and Eagle, and soon hopefully RAH, have stated that we will not fund the fleet transitions that are going to happen with or without poor concessionary contracts.
No more Pilot Subsidized Airlines.

Skyvector is one of two things. 1) a management tool or 2) a PSA'er who's butt hurt that he's part of a pilot group that is weak and spineless. Pay him no mind.
Great job Eagle pilots! You had me worried there for a while, but I'm proud of you!!

As such I'm entitled to my opinion just as much as every other Eagle pilot. If that makes you butt hurt it is not my problem.
