Of course not. You'd have to keep canceling, and you have no cancellation pay. Which makes it hysterical you say it was such a great contract when it was voted in. A northern based company with zero cancellation pay... There where your company is making money. That alone should have been a reason to turn the contract down back then. I have friends at RAH that suffer through the winter due to missing out on 1/4 of their paycheck.

And it was considered a great contract when you upgraded in two years and were making enough that the cancelations didn't sting as much. Obviously it is no longer even close to adequate, which is why we are digging in and fighting hard for a new one.

Only one has a sub 2 year upgrade from what I read. And it got that way by taking aircraft from another wholly owned. And again, the contract was signed over 8 years ago! If you're comparing what you have now to what we signed then and can't see the difference, there is no helping you. And while that contract didn't have cancelation pay, it also didn't have junior manning or airport reserve, which I believe most wholly owned do have.

Ha you do... Here's another guy that doesn't see the whole picture. Not that hard to see, but aren't the new 175's just a replacement for the 145's? Yes you'll have newer planes and larger planes one property, but less overall because of parking the 145's.

Well that's how it's getting done. It's called exercising leverage. Its not painless, but it's what we have to do.
