Counting your eggs a little early. The CPA LXJT is given the 1st right of refusal. Never say never.

Which is precisely why I used the words, "That's true but if there are bigger airplanes coming as part of the CAL CPA." Meaning that if Skywest and CAL come to an agreement as envisioned in the CPA, those aircraft are required to come to LXJT. But without pay rates for larger RJs, Skywest would have been unable to submit a bid to try to exercise that part of the CPA they paid to negotiate for. Now that there are rates, Skywest is no longer beholden to the ASA MEC's ultimatum to move forward with their business plan. And that is what Texan Aviator is alluding to. Skywest is no longer hostage to them. I don't see them giving the ASA MEC any leverage by giving these CAL aircraft to the ASA side when they pulled their ultimatum stunt.

And of course, if RAH or MESA wins the bid, then none of the Skywest airlines will get any of those aircraft. So if that's what you mean by counting eggs, that's not what I was doing. This is a reality no matter what. It goes without saying.

At this point, I'm all about SmartPref. I'm getting excited to see what happens when " the dog catches the car". It's going to be awesome when Nevets and McPickle deliver the spin to an irrate pilot group. I wonder how this will be LASA's fault??? I thought it was funny talking to a DAL jumpseater about SmartPref. I didn't mention anything other than the name, and his eyes got wide, just before asking "why do you guys want that?" .

you don't get it. LXJT did their research. They researched and discovered the best way to circumvent the use of common sense. All other research and subsequent rejection be damned..

nothing like marrying the girl that every other breathing male rejected

And then there's that lack of foreskin allowing that Sect 26 into their current CBA...but then that's LASA's fault too!

Have you read the CRJ reserve section?

Have you read the CRJ 401K/sick time sections?

The ERJ side probably screwed that up for the CRJ side.

That's old stuff. We're talking about new stuff and moving forward here. But hey......We Landed on the Moon!
 
Like I've said before, if the ASA MEC wouldn't have issued their flight line or no merger ultimatum to management, we wouldn't be where we are now. I'm ok with the way things have worked out regardless of which PBS vendor ends up being used. But notice that its only ASA pilots that keep complaining? Get over it already. What has happened, happened. And now we will wait to see what happens next. For all anybody knows, everyone can decide that we will all use flight line.

Have you read the lxjt PBS language. Have you read all the work rules language for PBS.

Oh yeah...you have none and will have to use that DB and the 25% cap on med. to buy those items.

What. What is that you say..you won't have to give up those items...yeah...right.

I must say that I have never seen a grown man cry and belly ache as much as you. But then again your not a grown man are you! Your SMs biatch.

I think I might just bid ewr just push you guys back a few.

I don't know what you read but I wrote that I'm ok with it all. No belly aching here whatsoever. Take a look at who starts most of these crying threads. It's ASA guys always bitching about something.

Go ahead and bid EWR. I don't care at all.
 
I haven't really been following the BS going on in the negotiations, but how is it that XJET side has gone from "we'll never give up line bidding", to "we'll only take this PBS system"?

All that time wasted over stubbornness to give up line bidding, and now more time wasted over which PBS system you'll actually use, after all! This could all have been wrapped up a year ago, and we wouldn't be dealing with the fallout from AE and Fagship.

Comical if it didn't affect my livelihood so much.
