CRJ 1000... Where?

[Airline Driver]

Its not going to happen. I will say it now. 70-76 is all you will get. The bottom quarter of all the major seniority list has either been furloughed or stagnated due to the outsourcing. We are not in a giving mood. Unless you are a lifer, this will benefit you.

Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Republic is flying 86 seat E175's. I know this because I fly one for them !! You don't know what the future holds for our industry and your not in a position to make business decisions that would effect this situation. All you do is drive the bus like the rest of us. I am not saying that 100 + seats is guaranteed to end up at the regional level, But I will say that It would not surprise me if it does. If upper management wants to let it happen it will happen regardless of your opinion or anyone Else's. Why, because it is business ,plain and simple.!!!!!

Sad, but history seems to agree.

On a side note, it's another by-product of USAirways' ********************ty product that makes the E175 an 86-seat jet. The legroom in that thing is freaking HORRENDOUS. Funny how everyone else is flying around 2-cabin 175s with far more legroom even in coach... leave it to US to ******************** up a good thing.

Speaking as someone flying the 100-seater at a "quasi-major" I hope the jets stay on mainline property. You guys do realize that currently NO major's scope clause allows 100-seat jets off the reservation, right? Regardless of what "upper management wants" I don't see a single pilot group relinquishing 100-seat scope.

Who's codeshare is this allowed on? I guarantee you will not see anything over 70-76 seats at AA,CAL, or DAL. We are done outsourcing our flying. In the past they threw enough money and benefits our way to by off enough of the votes. After the destruction of our contracts post 9/11 and the ensuing transfer of flying to 50 seaters we have learned our lesson. We have seen what the transfer of wealth/career carnage the 50 seaters did and it WILL NOT happen again. Count on it. We don't give a ******************** what mgmts business plan is.

Cobraair: The CRJ-900 and E175 are both operated with 86 seats by Freedom and Republic, repspectively, under the US code.

Skywest pilots will fly them for 50 seats pay.

Wow...it took all the way to the 2nd page for someone to say it. You're losing your touch.

Skywest pilots will fly them for 50 seats pay.

And they will still have a higher average W2 at the end of the year then any other Regional group.

Uh-oh you guys are not going to start comparing W-2s are you?

Nah just ego sizes....

Don't underestimate the anger at all of the majors.

Never underestimate the senior pilots willingness to throw junior pilots under the bus. For the good of the profession. Sorry, by now I'm just way too cynical about the whole state of affairs. You ain't gunna "take it back" any more than the UAW is going to rebuild Detroit.

metro752, easy now.

Those 1000's will never make it our property without huge pay increase. How about 2 years ago when the 900's were voted down. It's not official but my buddy saw the proposal from the negotiation committee and the FO rates in it were in the 60 dollar range for that airframe. Ofcoarse the company laughed at us and threw it back in our faces. We aren't the one's contributing to diminising pay scales at mainline.
