    Joint ASA/XJT MEC meeting

    We all need to realize that there are no guarantees. There is no promise that legacy Xjet gets bigger planes for United. That promise is held by Sky west INC. They can dole out the aircraft however they see fit. Even further, all the flying we do is owned by INC. They could transfer planes...

    Asa Mec blocks upgrades. True/false

    I am truly surprised that none of you have picked up on the fact that this is just a play by the company from their Ford and Harrison "How to alienate the union from your employees" playbook. This place is imploding and the company wants to deflect blame and make excuses for the fact that...

    Question for the ASA contract guru's

    I had a trip at the end of this month that carried over 3 days into May. Scheduling just wiped it all out and I now do DH only on May 1. Is this pay protected? What section of contract covers this. For the life of me, I can't find it. Thanx

    LXJET 70+ seat rates out

    Had that happen to a friend of mine. He helped with the pink tags. Grabbed some bag that weighed over 60lbs and wrenched his back. The Company OJI coverage was only something like 60% of base only. He lost $5k of pay. Pax can get there own crap!

    LXJET 70+ seat rates out

    None of you guys can see the forest through the trees. Some of you think that a rate of $2 an hour means downward pressure on us. Nope. With this rate, LXJT still receive more compensation than higher paid LASA. Its called the B-fund. If you want to give me that deal I'll sign in a New York...

    LXJET 70+ seat rates out

    There will also be guys making 90 seat pay to fly the 50. Consider it a pay raise to make "Senior Capt". For every pilot on the 70 that gets a pay cut their will be a senior pilot on the 50 getting a pay raise.

    LXJET 70+ seat rates out

    Believe me Guys, I want you all to get back what you gave up. But The game has changed. When you guys got your best contract you were a wholly owned subsiderary of Continental Airlines and the industry average margin for Regionals back then was 8%. Enter todays market and the average margin...

    ExpressJet $10 million concessions?

    There is a lot of merit to that statement. Delta has always been a majority military trained group. They have similar patterns in contract votes. If you were in the Delta HR group, this represents an opportunity to put a good chunk of pro-concessionary votes into your block. Plus, these...

    More planes for ExpressJet

    You guys need to realize that "Live Bid" or something very close to it a feature that is already been programmed into Flight line Prefbid. It is disabled by our management. I saw it on the FA side when they were "learning" the new bidding. Then management turned it off for them too. So, if...

    ASA MEC draws a line in the sand

    The reason the XJT MEC wants a globalized PBS system is because it marginalizes seniority. They know full well that the seniority list will not go 100% relative and will be influenced by longevity. That means XJT pilots are sliding down, so they are trying to put a system in place that does...

    Delta Air Lines Orders Up to 70 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Jetliners

    Please tell me your solution for staffing the aircraft when hiring does pick up at the legacies in the next year or so? You do know that with hardly anyone hiring now, both airlines are having difficulty filling new-hire classes? The days are already here were the Regionals tell the mainline...

    Delta Air Lines Orders Up to 70 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Jetliners

    The fallacy with this is that the BrainTrust of our operation, also known as Crew Scheduling, has never figured out how to operate with any less reserves. So, I honestly don't think PBS saved the Company any $. But, I love it. My wishes that will save the company money.... 1) Better...

    Delta Air Lines Orders Up to 70 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Jetliners

    You could vote in ALPA or not, it does not force a merge. But, if the board is convinced that a merge is in the best interest of the company, it will happen overnight. Then per NMB procedures, all employees work groups that are represented will get a vote as to which representation the new...

    Delta Air Lines Orders Up to 70 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Jetliners

    Some rumors I heard is that Uncle Jerry could overbid the ERJ operation and win a replacement bid with CRJ operations. There are a ton coming on the market from the Delta operators. Plus, with CRJ-200 being a training platform for the 700/900, that makes them more valuable than the ERJ's...

    SKYW: SkyWest has finalized an agreement to acquire 100 Mitsubishi Regional Jets

    I see these as replacement aircraft only. By the time these things show up, our original CRJ-700's will be pushing 15 years old. That is about all these -200's have shown to be good for. The C-series would be great, but they are remaining mainline gauge equipment. The MRJ is allowed by all...

    ExpressJet questions

    Not so easy there. Truth be told if the letter of the law was followed perfectly for every flight, our on time rate would be under 10%. Add to the above story that your in Albany, GA. It's 6pm on Sunday evening. Do you think a mechanic is going to show up at that hour and change a light...

    SGU Security Cam Footage

    I am surprised it went backwards. I once got a plane from mtc and when I landed the reversers would not stow. Came to a stop with tail still on the runway. Could not get the plane to move forward or backward. Had to get towed. The one thing I learned that day was plane won't move with TR's...

    Big meeting: Skywest, ASA/XJet, Alpa, SAPA

    In all seriousness, give me an internet connected tablet on an internet connected aircraft. Put in aircraft performance software and real time graphical weather. Overhaul the archaic NOTAM system with one that provides what we need. And poof, dispatchers go the way of the travel agents. We...

    Wasn't this Scott Hall's job?

    Don't forget all the off the cuff comments asking why your still here, holding them down. All that stuff written above is true. I can understand not grasping it out of initial training, but I can't grasp how it seems that learning stops after IOE is over. The only concern is climbing the...

    Wasn't this Scott Hall's job?

    So, basically, he is not skilled enough for his new job and has created two new positions to be filled by people that are actually qualified. All this to make himself look better. Plus it might have been hard to justify his Director status with nobody reporting to him.
