Chautauqua Continental Flying

[ERfly]

Bad thing is if XJ can get a contract to carry for anyone else it has to be at the rate they give to Continental, which isn't competitive. If they bid to carry lower than their rate they have at Continental, that becomes the defacto rate they fly at for the rest of their flying contract. It sucks when Continental is leasing the aircraft.

I'd be saving every penny if I worked at XJ.

I understand Mesaba (XJ) has some rough waters ahead (I'm pulling for you guys, btw), but I wasn't even aware they bid on the CAL flying. Best of luck Mesaba guys.

XJT is a class act. Were not a Chickentaco that kisses ass to get someone elses flying.

Uh-huh,just wait until payments on 69 airplanes come due.You may eat those words.

As Carlos Mencia would say...."De De Dee"...you freakin Tard. You've probably never even looked at RP/RW/S5's pay scales.

Keep wishing us bad luck....it just makes us stronger.

Actually I think this is working out like CAL intended, it's a nice coincidence that a few weeks after we announced that we were keeping the airplanes CAL announced that they ordered 24 more 737's

Exactly. There are many cities in the CAL system that are only Express that could use a 737. I think that's their intention. More growth at mainline carriers, what a concept. I may not get to fly the Guppy Killer (170), but I also may not be stuck with Express on the side of my aircraft for the rest of my career.

I know a few guys that were recently hired at XJT. Hope they can find some use for those planes. Does anyone know how soon CA needs to come up with a plan to fill that flying? I keep hearing Sept is when the deal goes into effect.

I believe the plan to fill that flying is coming from Seattle. That, and an increase in block hours and utilization of our current fleet. The fleet is pretty under-utilized right now. I'm sure the remaining 204, plus some Boeings, could fill the need. Sorry 'bout your upgrade.

Its not just payscales, its everything in a contract! And YOUR pilots voted for it.
