New Flying for XJet?

[Nevets]

Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house....

Pot calling the kettle black. Any other clichés you'd like to throw out there for no apparent reason?

I'm surprised this thread hasn't turned into the usual PBS discussion, yet...

Personal B!$@& Session?

I thought so also but:

looks like 317 is back in ATL and flying ATL-GRK...hmmm

We took GRK out of our Jepps in the last revision...

Try reading your company mail. You were told NOT to delete them due to a Jepp error. Jan 5th message from the company.

This is why we can't have nice things...

(like the other poster said, READ your company email)

Too busy scouring cliches.com and airliners.net for trite sayings and pointless rumors to wow us with. Pity really, he missed out on the one bit of actual work the Walrus has done this year...

Am I the only one that feels like crap that we're growing so much and our buddies on the CRJ are hurting? Why not throw them a bone... I'm happy as heck we're growing, upgrading and hiring but they are hurting on the CRJ. And we're a loooong ways from a contract and one list.

Speaking of which, when are YOU going to upgrade, or are you waiting until they slap some big ol' knobby tires and Flowmasters on a 145 before you take off your skirt and grab the tiller, you big pansy! I heard they're bringing back the 135, next thing you know, they'll be hauling pax in old Geronimos to Easterwood!

You know I had to mess with you, how are things going on the ERJ side of things? It's not as bad as it could be over here, at least we're not furloughing like we thought they might, for now.

I think things will be getting better for everybody by early next year, if not sooner (I hope). Funny how we ended up working for the same airline after all!

Bs

Heard a rumor that potential new hires are being told that we might be getting some of the Mesa's USAir flying.

Anybody care to comment on this?

This is complete BS. Mesa's contract with Airways are guaranteed through June of 2015. Mesa is exceeding all performance expectations, and just completed upgrading all the aircraft to all leather cabins and F/C seating.

Not suprised, but dissappointed by this post none the less. You diminish the word professional.

Class warfare? Its not management's fault the two MECs can't get along. ASA and XJT are both ALPA. Both MECs should have the same goal in mind. Supposed to be one strong union? Brotherhood? Please. Just a bunch of ego's running into each other.

Taking A/C out of the desert and putting them on one side of the operation definately pits one group against the other. No wonder why both groups are pi**ed off at each other. I'm quite certain that the MEC's didn't order the planes out of the boneyard.

I would imagine the company is trying to place all aircraft that are sitting side-lined. They shop them to the respective mainline partners who then decide which aircraft they want and don't want.

That it pits one side against the other will be the case until there is truly one unified company and seniority list. As long as there are two groups flying different aircraft around there will always be the unintended consequence when one mainline carrier picks one over the other.

I'm sure management doesn't mind a squabble but that's our reality until we come to an agreement.

I actually did read this but completely let it slip my mind because the 200 doesn't fly to GRK. Thanks for the reminder

The planes are owned by CAL who was paying the leases to let them sit. What did you expect BH to do? Start an EMB program at ASA for 5 135s? Be reasonable and think analytically people. It's 5 airplanes of growth, not 35

There's more ERJs coming to feed American... Just wait! I bet the RFP for that flying is already out.
