First XE (ASA) CR7 heading to GoJets.

[On Your Six]

Flying belongs to the shareholders and management. From there they decide who the flying gets assigned to. Sometimes it's their in-house plots, sometimes they contract out to another carrier (regional), or even a code-share.

The rare case nowadays is the airline whose management contractually agrees with their in-house pilots that all flying be done by them (SWA).

Not saying I like the system, but this is what it is in a nutshell.

Sorry, flying belongs to scope clauses between management and the mainline pilots. SWA management might want smaller planes flying to smaller cities, but the contract there doesn't allow it, regardless what the SWA shareholders want. I wish the legacies had that strong of scope, but previous BK filings didn't help. More profits as of late will help strengthen that hopefully in future contracts. That could increase mainline hiring, helping bring people up from the regionals.


Godspeed!

Actually, for now, the CRJ side is EV and the ERJ side is XE.

Just for CASS. Once the new ids go out, this will change. EV will work now with your EV emp id.

That's what I said. And no, it doesn't work right now. Ask me how we know if you don't believe? Probably has something to do that we don't have EV employee IDs yet.

You don't have a 703xxxx number yet?

Super awesome planning. Love the mulatto uniforms, ID's that don't match...couldn't have screwed that up worse myself.

Here's a crazy idea. I'd have waited until after winter to do the blazer re-striping. That would have allowed ample time to do the work without everyone looking terrible in civilian jackets. It would also have allowed time for the new wings to be produced and distributed to avoid the silver & gold mismatch. Seriously, why the rush? I don't think SOC remotely depended on fast-tracking a common uniform standard. Then again I didn't get a management degree so what would I know?

The uniform mismatch issue is not a big deal. 6 months from now no one will remember or care that ASA pilots had gold epaulets and silver wings for 3 months

I agree, but that combined with the other uniform related issues demonstrate terrible planning.

 

[COOPERVANE]

I found out today that the wings have not been signed off for production. They are holding the order for some reason.

Probably don't have enough money in the checking account.

Yes, but I don't have an employee ID with my 703xxxx number on it.
