Because it bumps our passengers and/or their bags as well as jumpseaters. Especially with the new weights. It is a great product, first class to Bentonville without checking your carryon. But since it was a 70 seater, it’s empty weight is heavier than any 50 seater. What are they gonna do with a 50 seater? Park the Guppies? Haha. Its a Joplin bird. What regionals SHOULD be flying.
4000lbs stills equals another 20 seats even with the increase in pax weights, all management needs to do is find another language loophole in the scope and magically they stick those seats back in the 550, but “we don’t think the company would do that”-the MEC
oh then guess what? The jumpseat will again be useless.

Considering the regionals have now exceeded our own crj900/erj175 pay rates to flying 50 and 70 seaters this is what we need to be fighting for.

I think you underestimate our pilot group. I also think management lost all credibility with their fallacy that we can’t afford to fly the RJs in house.

Wrong again. Management created this crappy product through a loophole in our scope. There is zero reason for the pilot group to make the loophole bigger. If you’re commuting on one these that’s your problem.

The seats aren’t coming back in the 550. Don’t be silly. And if they did, 4000 lbs doesn’t even equate to the 70 seat definition in our contract. Lol. IOW, they can put the seats back in tomorrow, and fly them as a 70 seater at a much greater weight than +4000lbs. Silly argument. rtf contract.

One more comment on why 15% on DOS is an absolute joke. Have you seen Mesa’s rates? $215/hr to fly a CRJ 900. Have you looked at our contract? $181.54!!! 19% gets us to MESA rates!! And you think our pilots would vote to have ANY aircraft fly for LESS than Mesa? SkyWest’s TA is supposedly coming out by Monday. I can’t wait to compare their new TA rates on the CRJ to ours. It is only going to raise the bar.
I think you underestimate our pilot group. I also think management lost all credibility with their fallacy that we can’t afford to fly the RJs in house.

I’m sure they’re hoping for relief next year after the midterms. But bankruptcy will work just fine if they don’t get it. 😉

100% true. Which makes the “sneak seats back in the 550” argument even sillier.

You're officially now a troll if you don’t think we consider other airlines. I’ll just ignore you.
