I could not agree more. We all deserve more. Shrinking pool if people with a unique skill set.

I am guessing that they will be paying us to DH from AA bases to start Delta trips. That was how they started the Airways flying. Probably DTW and or CVG and if JFK/LGA by March or April.

This is proof you don't need to take concessions. They came to us because we are able to staff, because we are "expensive".

Indeed. Imagine if PSA had stood tall. PDT would have then stood tall as well. If all followed suit the bar would have been raised instead of lowered!

I am excited too, but wait to get self-righteouss until after we see airplanes actually on property earning money. I would hate for everyone's sake for you to have to eat these words.

Not sure it's been discussed but can AW staff these? How long till the CPA with US/AAL expire?

All that get in and get out cheerleading needs to stop. You can get stuck or even go back after getting to the majors. All it takes is one terrorist attack or runaway fuel costs. Regionals should at least be a comfortable place to be while you wait for bigger and better things. Raise the bar.

I wonder how much money will be earned...you think delta signed a contract they would lose money on? I doubt it. Makes me think this flying might be at cost or at a loss.

Wow!

Yea AWAC needed to fly 26 more airplanes so bad they are willing to lose money.
