I understand that everyone thinks that in 5 years we'll all be sitting in a legacy carrier or LCC. But, that call may never come, and I for one am not willing to throw myself and everyone else at my company under the bus for some new jets or a quick upgrade

I wish you guys the best. However You fools don't realize we were in the same position as you guys 2 years ago. Just be glad you weren't part of the WO'ed Trio to get played. Yes it has worked out for us and what I'm hearing is we've had more then just a few AWAC guy coming up for interviews over the next few weeks.
Piedmont held the line for many years. Go back and research history and you'll find we (PDT) were the front runners for the regional contracts. We actually fought to make the regionals a better place and many other regionals fought hard to have the contract we did. I was never here then but I've heard the stories from our pilots that have been her 25-30 years. AWAC is like PDT one of the last to hold the line but you guys haven't yet seen a gun held to your heads.
That's why I say good luck. We've been there and done that.

Places like Comair held the line... PDT wasn't even a blip in the regional radar back then

They grew one the backs of people paying to work there and crappy pay and later got a good contract because they had some leverage only to sign a concessionary agreement later in hope of living another day.
So Comair held the line???? LOL, go back and learn!!

I know you just came on the board to congratulate us for our TA. And thanks. Not knowing the future here has everyone concerned as well.
As for details?
First the negotiating committee presents the TA to the MEC. The MEC votes on whether to send the TA to the pilot group for ratification. Then the NC will prepare for road shows with all the details.

Obviously not the recipient of a higher level education. There, their or they're (try choosing one) TA hopefully puts YOUR contract to shame, and please do enjoy being a member of one of the least respected sell-out pilot groups in the industry. It obviously suits you.
