So I just looked at the call notes and everywhere on our wonderful SAPA site, but failed to see that mentioned anywhere. I'm sorry but since we are an airline and we have to fly planes, we can't all be on these amazing calls. The ones I have attended have actually frustrated me enough that I make little effort to attend. When SAPA has precious little time with top management at SW and we spend that time talking about what cool guns everyone has (as admitted by RJ during one of the calls) it helps me understand why there are so many pro-company proposals being passed.
And now our former president just mentioned that SAPA passed a reflow policy and one that allows pilots not on our seniority list to fly 91 operations. Was anyone on the call and did SAPA mention this? Since the last SAPA meeting notes were from October (and those are only there because MP made a point to get them out there) there is no way for us to know what our "representatives" are voting for and if they align with our interests.
The longer we go without recalling our leadership, the more we are going to give up and have to fight to get back down the road. If they have passed any type of reflow without letting the pilots see it, we will be in bad shape. I wonder if the rush is to get something in place before the block hours increase for the summer? How nice will it be to get awarded 90 + hours and reflowed another 10 or so during the month.

The first thing that has to be understood is that RJ is nothing but a mouthpiece for management. He's been off the line for well over 7 years and wants to stay that way. If you stand your ground for the pilots like MM did, they threaten your job. Management picks their battles but win every time.

I heard a big-wig talking about SkyWheezy buying more planes. What kind and for whom was left unsaid.
Transitioning planes from the desert or from L-ASA sure, but this was the first I've heard of more factory new purchases.

The rumors have been around for two months now. More CRJ900s and E175s are the rumors. For DL and AA. Nothing has been announced and hearsay.

Announcement out on the ASA side. No more DL flying for them after Nov 2018. They are placing some 700s with AA and mentioned that most likely the others they owned eventually going to UA. All 900s going to Endeavor.

I didn't think Delta had any more large RJ scope left, other than the ones that were just parked and not transitioned to Endeavor
