And I'll tell you what will happen in three years. Will get another ****ty pay package 6-9 months after this one expires.
People we're saying if we voted down the first package we wouldn't see another one for a long time either.
This one will pass though. They only need 50% +1. Anything more and management will feel they gave away too much. They aren't going to make a large majority happy.
And regardless of what happens with pay we will be a smaller airline in 5 years.

Not many regionals have duty rigs either, I think the two mentioned above plus Skywest and ASA are the only few.

Asa, horizon, air Wisconsin, and Skywest have a 1:2 duty rig. Air Wisconsin, horizon, and peidmont have a trip rig of 1:4.
The key to these rigs, other than the ratio itself, is getting them to be actual or scheduled, whichever is higher.

Every regional is feeling the pilot shortage. That is why most of them are offering some kind of signing and or retention bonus. And every new TA has some sort of carrot to entice new hires. The regionals without good first year pay will suffer the most. That is leverage for pilots that won't be going away.

How big is PHX as a base, or how easy is it to get? I thought I read somewhere that PHX was shrinking but that may be Mesa I'm thinking about.

The 900s in PHX are going away. The 200s in PHX are being parked and a similar number of 200s from LAX are being transferred there. This all starts in a couple of months. I'm not sure of the totals or how it will effect the domicile size at PHX or LAX.

Single list?
Saw this is the expressjet thread:
"Got the TA survey phone call today. Only interesting question. 1 to 5 how important is a single seniority list with Skywest? I told the guy I didn't even know that was on the table."
Is this even possible and what would that mean for a new hire if that went through? Number 6,000 then? That would be a deterrent.
