I was thinking super senority for Skyway pilots but I guess DOH would be OK.
Absolutely!:laugh:

Rumor is floating around that AP was offered a CP spot after Floy...
Heard the same thing and he is getting like 400K in stock options.
Agreed. If we effectively eliminated a company due to our fleet plans, it's only fair to bring that company's pilots onto the seniority list.I would like the Skyway pilots to be stapled to the AirTran list if it is decided to get rid of the 1900s and DoJets.

I decided within five minutes to vote no on our TA. I don't need any convincing or the need to debate, the whole thing needs to be re-worked. I hope others feel the same way but thanks for the advice. Best of luck in training, and don't judge Atlanta by what you see close by the Alteon facility.
If AAI buys Midwest you will have RJ's. Skyway has 12 small (32 seaters) jets and Skywest is now flying 50 seaters under contract. If AAI flushes Skyway and Skywest it will mean that service to many smaller cities will be lost out of MKE which is one of the things that scares MKE residents about AAI. AAI has stated publically that they will not cut smaller markets. Also, Skyway is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midwest and it looks like AAI will soon own both companies. Skyway is not viable with it's current fleet; it's just too small to have any economy of scale and any real value as it is now. Midwest has pretty much wasted any potential that Skyway had and elected to grow the smaller airplanes by bringing in Skywest. What is AAI going to do about Skyway? It looks like the AAI pilots don't want Skyway to have 70 seaters and AAI says they don't want 50 seaters so where does this leave the Skyway pilots if AAI buys Midwest? I certainly don't blame AAI pilots for wanting to keep the flying under one roof but that will effectively eliminate any future potential, and probably the jobs of an entire pilot group.
Lets get one thing straight. If your talking and E190 - 195 its no RJ. CEOs love to group it in with RJs but it is not. The 190 has a Max Gross of 114,200 flies at 410 and had range of 2000miles. It does every thing the 737 200, DC-9, F100 does only better and more efficient. The 717 is so close to what this ac does I cant help but believe it is just a way for the pilots to do the exact same job for 25% less. My hope is that over time this will be recognized and put more pressure to raise the pay rates across the board. If this was a Boeing 190 or Airbus 190 we would not be having these discussions. Bottom line is dont be fooled by the name Embraer.
