Our pilot group voted for stagnation and that's what we got!

Done interviewing for year. All new hires for remainder of 2013 and early 2014 were interviewed in May June July. Position bid thats due out this fall will have less than 20 of those new hires on it is the rumoured. Half of what we all expected. Rest will follow after first of year or spring. Window will open again in spring like last year. Two weeks after contract came out of ratification company annouced reduced new hire classes, no more upgrades and reduced block hour lines. Good work ALPA.

Any wagers on who will be the first to get hired into the training department? How about a 2nd floor job??

Like I said before ...soo disappointed in this pilot group ...

I am just happy to be one of the top ten no voters...

The next contract will pass by 55-58%!

2009-83%
2013-67%
2018-55-58%

These are targeted numbers no different then our CASM at the end of the year or our fleet count in 5 years.

We are being played like a violin and we as a group are too arrogant to realize it.

Probably not. We are a 737 operation. Problem is we are still paying on those CRJs so they want to make a little money off them, (and I've heard it is very little if any) vs putting them in the desert. When the time comes in a couple years when they are paid off, it will be interesting to see what they do.
