No real problem with that? All that new metal may end up at American then. If it costs American and Eagle nearly the same cost to fly them, then there is no point in flying them at Eagle right?

Its a definite that there are major ballot issues on the RAH side. Several pilots received the ballot information for themselves and another pilot. They had no choice but to extend the window because so many people had still not received their ballot. I do think they are hoping guys will switch their votes to a yes vote (Who's ever heard of being able to change your vote?) but I doubt it will happen with Eagle voting no.

True. That's if they don't decide to give the flying to another regional (Skywest). I was just simply stating that this has to be a battle fought at both the regional and major levels. Obvious, I know, but all it takes is one regional pilot group to operate cheap and there goes the game plan. And right now I can think of over half a dozen that do just that, and will for the foreseeable future.

Great job Eagle! Too bad PSA didn't have the cojones to do the same thing. Speaking of which, looks like they've been quiet on this thread...

As Eagle pilots we could change our votes as many times as we wanted right up until the ballots closed.

Stand strong RAH pilots. EGL+XJT+RAH all saying No! = approximately 10,000 regional pilots telling management: FUPM!

Every ALPA vote in recent memory, FYI.
