More planes for ExpressJet

[Cpt Oveur]

Has anyone from the L-Expressjet side asked how much Flightline costs per month vs smartPref?

You're a LASA pilot. Why don't you ask your people?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Who really gives a flying shirt about how much PBS costs per month. Go study your OM or something useful

Looks like our Flightline PBS days are numbered. This situation looks like a clear message from management to the ASA MEC to either let Flightline PBS go or else.

My how the tables have turned.....

Or it could be a way for management to utilize a pilot group, whose flying is slated to shrink, to fly another aircraft type for another mainline partner at a "competitive" rate amidst a regional pilot shortage.

The PBS sky is not falling.

Or maybe it's for 100 MRJs!

Well, I took that memo to be shot across the bow of Lxjt to get in line or "you'll be left out of any future growth opportunities and you will wither and die"....but I suppose it could be that our management hates our pbs......nah....

Let me be pragmatic, Nevets. There is no number I could quote on here that you would actually believe. Also, if legacyExpressjet and ASA MECs did its diligence, that would already have been determined.

Yup!!!

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Yup!!!

Someone help me out, but if they're bidding on the Embraer side, wouldnt that imply they can have a cheaper cost? Or at least negotiating for a cheaper cost? Why go through the world of bidding a more expensive product? This is not a warning to the Embraer brothers to get in line, this is a warning to all that they're not waiting for the pilots to bid on new flying.

I hope that was sarcasm because that was the ASA bow that shot went across, not LXJT. I don't understand how else you could take that.

My point in asking you to find out from your MEC was that they don't know anyway because they are the ones who haven't done their due diligence. You honestly believe that the company has agreed to use smartpref without knowing its true cost?

That would be true except that it was the ASA MEC who threw down the flight line ultimatum. It was them who said they are willing to hold up the merger indefinitely until management agreed to use flight line for all pilots. No sir, this was a message to your MEC that they are not waiting for the ASA MEC to move forward in this company.

In honesty, yes. They absolutely agreed to flight line without knowing its true cost.

That is false.

 

[Cpt Oveur]

That is false.

Nevets, you don't listen to facts you don't agree with, so it's futile continuing. Good day to you, sir.

You haven't stated any facts. You are just saying that nobody knows. I'm telling you, the company and crewing solutions have sat down and SIGNED an agreement. They know.
