    CoEx to keep the 69 erj's

    This would be fiscally irresponsible to the share holders. It would never happen... Jim is cocky, but he wouldn't do something that stupid. Imagine the cost!

    Good regionals?

    I've seen a lot of loose stuff at XJT, but it is not our airplanes. New interview qualification for all pilots... Interviewer: Tell me what happens to a/c when they are taken from your fleet? Applicant: You loose them! Interviewer: You're an idiot; get out and open up a dictionary for the...

    I don't dring koolaid, never liked it much. Seriously, if they were going to pursue concessions, don't you think they would've done it by now to try and preserve the feed we were providing to CAL? I mean, anything can happen, and I am not saying they won't ask, but I think it is highly unlikely...

    Chautauqua Triumph

    There is a simple answer to this... NO, if you don't want it, vote no. Every situation has its costs and benefits, and they should all be weighed on their merits. Relatively speaking, we are one of the more unproductive pilot groups. We have some nice amenities in our contract, but frankly, I...

    Chautauqua Triumph

    The problem is that everyone acts as though XJT is LOSING 69 airplanes. Clearly, they are not educated on the details. XJT, per the CPA, has until September 28 to notify CAL of its intention to keep or return some or all of the 69 a/c whose capacity is to be replaced. I think it is safe to say...

    CKN Taco selected for Continental Express

    To my knowledge, the CPA does not allow for another replacement of XJT capacity until 2009, at which time up to 25% of the capacity could be out for bid. Essentially another 69 a/c. However, I believe there is a clause which could potentially allow cancellation of the whole CPA, provided the 12...

    Yes, minimum 300 pilot for this year, possibility of more pending the announcement of our future partners / business opportunities.

    CHQ Scabs? reminicient of GJ isn't it?

    AMEN! A displacement would not be nearly as devastating if you could make a lateral move in pay/benefits, but the airline environment does not reward experience. In fact, in some places, you couldn't be hired b/c you are too experienced for the FO seat on an RJ. Believe it or not, I heard this...

    Chautauqua Triumph

    The point is not in the choice of words, but rather the mental capacity that is represented by many of our new hires in the airline industry. "Little boys" is one such way of describing that capacity. Listen to these fellas bicker about who flies better jets, who's contract is better, who's...

    ...capacity with United, refuse to fly that capacity. Put it back where it had successfully resided for a long time. Pilots refuse to be hired by *************************s, when the company is unable to staff its flight decks, TSA retains what was rightfully agreed upon. Pilot groups...

    CHQ Scabs? reminicient of GJ isn't it?

    Oh yeah, and NO, GJ was not the same thing. That was a deplorable mgmt strategy to create an airline that would operate at a cheaper labor cost, with less attractive work rules than TSA. It worked, some people wanted to fly the 700 so badly that they were willing to buy into the new company...

    CHQ Scabs? reminicient of GJ isn't it?

    AGREED. I think most of the folks on this forum are too young to really know what a scab is. I never dealt with unionization until I came to XJT. Colgan didn't have one, and I can tell you from 1st hand experience that XJT is worlds better. Whether that is union related, I am not 100% sure. I...

    CHQ Scabs? reminicient of GJ isn't it?

    700 furloughs, well aren't you a ball of joy. This is extremely presumptious of you. First, none of us know why CAL mgmt made the decision they made. XJT offered up some very cost effective, risk sharing oriented deals to CAL... CAL did not want any part of it. I was privy to some of these...

    What's in store for ExpressJet?

    This rumor is true. CAL did approach us to talk further. Heard it from three of our top managment positions. Keep the faith. Lots of other exciting stuff going on in the background. Don't write off Express jet.

    WOW, 10,000 NEW jobs this year!!!!

    With 352 hours, this guy is the holy one of airline analysts. Ever heard of the 75 hour monthly guarantee??? You'd be lucky if you pulled a 110 hour credit for the month, and if you did, you would be dead freakin' tired b/c your 110 hr credit required exponentially more duty time. Analysis...

    COLGANS performance

    Is that a technical term that is now being used. I seem to remember hearing it quite a bit even when I flew for Colgan.

    If you need a ride on Express Jet, the door is open.

    Not Good for Coex

    Exactly what I would expect to hear Mesa do. I mean our whole lives should be only about flying right??? We are not supposed to have families or kids or extracurricular interests. Hope that analyst is right, cuz I'd hate to see Mesa screwing up all our efforts.

    NMB Decision TSA-*************************

    No matter how you look at it, anyone who would go work for *************************S is guilty of attempting to undercut all their peers in the industry... simply for the glory of flying 20 more people around. I have seen your names up on lists in many crew rooms. Just know that you are not...

    COEX losing 69 Aircraft

    Sorry guys, but I have to set this guy straight. AMISH, it is obvious that you must be in your early 20's and unattached (that means married). Certainly, you don't have any children, at least, none that you have been made aware of. Let me give you a dose of reality. This $20K salary per year...
