Are you guys still thinking the 900's are growth aircraft? Serious question.

Compass also has a guaranteed interview. Not at AA but at Delta, an infinitely better run airline than DUI Doug's donkey show.

First CRJ200 lease is up in 2019 and they have not parked any yet so you tell me. Why would they park the cheaper PSA 200s before the more expensive AWAC/SKW/XJT/ENV 50 seat aircraft? I don't think you know as much as you think but keep flaming.

So they spent all that money to about double our pilot group, hire additional dispatchers, schedulers, MX etc.
They also upgraded our training center. Purchased 3 sims and quadrupled the size of the training dept for what? To furlough everyone in a year when they decide to park our 200s?
Why would they do this? Just to tell the pilots....HA! We fooled you! You'll still be the same size.....FOREVER!.
Serious question.
Cmon.

Just don't PSA your situation and you will be fine. Do whatever your mind is telling you.
Also, as for upgrade at your time, upgrade will be more like 3-4 years depending on the regional. Most minimums are 3000-4000 hours. At 600 hours per year average with EVERYONE else in the company trying to do the same, it might take longer than you think. Also, they won't lower the minimums because there are plenty of 5k hour FOs out there willing to jump ship if DECs happen.

This can't be right. Alpa MEC was telling envoy that there was NO way you guys could staff all that flying.
