I saw the same a was bummed, they didn't award anyone really whilst increasing the DVR by 8, I thought they were saving for the new hires but, it sounds like they're not done awarding...? When will they be done.. Bueller?

Anyone been through AQP on the 175 recently? Recurrent is coming up and was curious if they've worked the initial kinks out. PM me if you have anything you wouldn't mind sharing.

I'm wondering the same, it appears they are done, but who knows. Seems strange to increase the DVR by 8 but have a net loss of 3 so far.

Would anyone happen to know how many of the remaining one hundred E175 options will be added into our fleet after 2018? Asking for a friend....

Depends on if there's contracts for them or not.

AKA if Compass ***** the bed and Delta gives us more flying out west

If this enables ten senior CA's to leave but only one comes back, SGU is much money ahead.

If they give it away XJT, they'll have lots of them coming over next Monday. They'd probably rather they stay at XJT for now.

Also, more importantly for SKW pilots...that might be something which could be used to justify a common carrier petition, to force seniority list integration (by DOH of course!).

When IAH opened for the Brasilia it happened.

Why would we want an integrated seniority list, a lot of them are super old at ASA. They might keep pay and benefit seniority, but I doubt they'd integrate actual DOH seniority. That would be a disaster.

We won't merge, XJT won't give up ALPA, and SGU won't accept ALPA.
