Combining SkyWest and ASA may happen, but legacy Expressjet may be left swinging in the breeze. Supposedly their contract expectations are unreasonable, and the pilot group's militancy makes it a difficult cultural fit with the other two groups.

I hate to ruin this with a fact but.....It isn't possible with our transition and process agreement. It would take all three of us to accept the change in direction of a ASA/SKY merger and not XJET. XJT alpa would never approve. Nice wet dream the LASA guys have but not gonna happen. Sorry.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. For what it's worth, there are quite a few LXJT guys saying things like:

The sentiment that I see is that if it means having a concessionary contract, then keep us separate.

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

Not shooting anyone. Just stating the facts.... I'm guessing the first part of your rumor could be true but the merging ASA/skywest ain't gonna happen without us ERJ pilots.

The simple fact is if it's a concessionary contract, the ERJ side will vote no way Jose. But, until it comes out for a vote I'll let my negotiation committee do the talking for me.

Well the messenger is pretty naive to be the messenger on this one. Or more likely, they are posting flame bait. For the record, personally, I rather stay separate if merging us with ASA means taking a concessionary contract. That has nothing to do with your nonsense rumor. Are you willing to take a concession on a new contract?

I hope santa clause brings the general some protein powder and creatine this christmas..you need some bulk!

Is your MEC willing to agree to cancel the TPA agreement?

No. Is yours willing to quit being whiny bitches?

Very few pinnacle pilots understand this.

Some even still think we might only lose 15-30 crj's and those will be replaced with 900's. I laugh in a sad way. they quote a contract written on toilet paper that the crj's will be around for X amount of years. They will not listen to any mesaba pilot who has been through a bankruptcy who knows contracts mean nothing when you are in bankruptcy. People! look into the past to see the future!

Delta has contractual obligations with their pilots to get down to 125 crj 200 (50 seaters).

Delta has already made deals with sky west to rid themselves of 66 crj's and if I see that correctly, they will still operate about 90 50 seaters for Delta. How many more does that leave Pinnacle and anyone else? That my friends is how many 200's we will lose.

It's concessions and a joint contract, or PLAN B. PLAN B = You become the incredible shrinking airline. Just look at the lease retirement schedule starting early next year.

A new CPA can be negotiated, and there will be no replacement airplanes. Then what?

General Lee is female. Duh.

That would make more sense, 6' 5" and 140 lbs in 6 inch heels?
