MESA sucks and should DIE and go out of business, the sooner the better. How is that for 'constructive'????? Sounds constructive to me, and would definitely 'take quite a bit of capacity' out of the system, that's constructive also.

PD

More RJ's?

If UAL wants more RJ's then they better be ready to staff them with UAL pilots. The 50 seaters are history and you better believe that the 2172 furloughed the last go around will be DEMANDING LEFT SEAT Captain slots on any new RJ's for Express.


I know UAL-ALPA is already working on this.

Good, this should be a huge wake up call to the pilots at the majors that scope is important and by giving it away you only give away your own jobs.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

sure, left seat at the bottom of the seniorty list is fine by me

ALPA is working very hard to guarantee Left seat slots at airlines that UAL only contracts with. We (ALPA) will force airlines like Skywest to make these slots available. Uh, wait Skywest is not ALPA, so we will find somebody to shaft.

Wow!!! Last go at this BS and we (UEX) gave UAL furloughees seats in the aircraft at higher payrates than other pilots in the same positions. Now we are getting a little greedy and DEMANDING capt positions this go around.

How about we (the express') get UAL left seats regardless of seniority when the economy turns around......

I agree it is a crap position to be in but some of the FOs at any express carrier most likely have been in their positions longer than the POTENTIAL furloughees have been at UAL. How would that work with the national seniority list that some have suggested? It is a double edged sword that we are sitting on.....UEX grows, no long term positions at mainline. Mainline pilots and unions should have never let RJ's fly under their banner with UEX employees, but they did.

Good luck to those involved.

Most of the UAL new hires where RJ Captains for 7 to 10 years!!!!

So if I resign after 8 years and go to any airline, (SWA UPS FDX Emirates AAL UAL USAir you name it) I get to go back to a captain position at my previous carrier in the event the airline I chose furloughs me. Must be nice!!!

These guys took the chance to go to another airline. No one forced them to.
