And what exactly were the NEW terms to the agreement peanuckle and Detla came up with to keep the 900 flying..

Last time I checked that has not been disclosed yet...

I would still be very cautious, I think the relationship with Delta will come to an end soon. 9E is demonstrating that their future is with Continental and Q400's. Delta is demonstrating that their is no future for 200's. I think within a few years we'll look back to these days as the days that saved 9E... The largest Q400 operator in the country and exclusive partner of Contiental.

How excited does anyone think Delta is that the money they loose on every flight 9e operates a 200 on is profit in the back for 9e. Of which that same profit is buying bigger, newer, more efficient airplanes to compete against their #1 competitor out of the New York market. I'm sure Delta will not be subsidizing their competitor much longer...

Nothing is going to save 9E from it's inept, small-minded, money-grubbing, mis-management dolts. It's high time we put this airline and it's greedy fat cats out of it's misery. I'm willing to sacrafice my job to rid this industry of such an abortion of a management group.
 
You guys need to start getting paid for flying 74 people around.


Agreed! This time though... we have some 19 months to get a repsectable pay scale on the aircraft before the aircraft are delivered. I use before because to all the Nay sayers out there... we did get 15 more airframes, AFTER we voted to be represented. Further showing that growth and represention are independant of each other.

How does all this affect Express Jet??? Colgan getting Q400s is great for Colgan, not for express jet.....
 
Its not great news for us (xjt) but it really isn't good news for any pilots when higher paid jobs are being replaced by much lower paying jobs. Be it mainline jobs to xjt or xjt jobs to colgan. Plus this is almost 20 months away there is to many variables for things to change in the industry between now and then. Who would have thought 20 months ago (4/07), when everyone was hiring like crazy and there were talks of pilot shortages, things would be the way they are now.
 
Hey now, they just organized.

Let's give them some time to negotiate a contract before we start calling names. Come to think of it, are you ready to walk for a better PDT contract?

Well here are the Rates Piedmont Voted yes for about a year ago, however the planes never got here.

Capt. rates not bad, but FO's side needs some work.

Good Luck

And yes we have 25 year guys here.

We at PDT will never see the "mothership" dash, so we might as well let Colgan use our rates! Especially If they can improve on them somewhat.
