It must get old sitting in the crew room thinking up doom and gloom stories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was an additional 25-30 that were based on performance.

We have gotten our bonuses the every month since October. I doubt the company would set our bonuses at an unacceptable performance level.
ALL flying is contingent of performance, but in my many years at TSA I have seen exactly 1 regional get its flying pulled for performance that didn't include unable to staff(Mesa/Delta).
Performance is important but price is king. Plus, when you are dealing with who is better at the regionals you are literally talking about 1-2% differences in performance. Not something you would pull a contract for.

The flying is going to be here. We will staff it. The world will turn. Those pilots that aren't proactive and don't hop on when the timing is right will miss a great ride.

Price is king. Look at the nonsense going on at KDEN on the express ramp side.. If it's cheap it works..

Yea I haven't seen our performance numbers, so I'm not real sure where we rank in terms of that. It does, however, seem logical that United would give the aircraft to someone else if we are not getting the job done. I am as happy as anyone that our company is growing and becoming a place where people want to come work. I was just stating what I heard from a very reliable source who is also a great friend. Performance and staffing were going to be factors for us. I'd like to think we'll accomplish both without much of a problem.
