Delta Shuttle to be flown by Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America with "RJ's"

[JoeMerchant]

It could have been sought after in 2000 just as easy as it could have been sought after in 2002. You never know what could have happened because it was never sought.

I'm shopping for new cars right now....Do you think I can get a better deal today or could I have gotten a better deal a year ago on a new car....

You still think 2002 was as good a negotiating environment as 2000 was...

I am 700 from the bottom and sit at about 68% on the 757/767 in EWR. I'll have a Guiness for you in Dublin on Thursday.

Good for you! After the Guiness, try a Murphy's for me. Great trip. If I ever see you, I'll buy.:beer:

...as does UAL, AAA, AMR, and DAL....doesn't equate to job security....



I still wouldn't trade places with you....I'm glad your happy....How long have you been at CAL now?

You're right, I'll take it one step further and say there is no such thing as a 100% secure flying job. But, since I directly control the code I fly under I'd say mine is more secure.

Been at CAL 2 1/2 years now and it isn't Shangri-la, but it is better than ASA, for me at least. Great airplanes, great routes, $hitty contract. Contracts are negotiable so hopefully I'll have 3 out of 3 soon.

You don't have to twist my arm. You guys still at the Hilton down by the old prison? I think we drove by it on the Hop-on Hop-off tour.

Mainline to be completely phased out from January 5th to March 28th.

Well, there goes even more flying and not just off the property but completely out of the union, engineered by ALPA. Tell me again how that scope is working for junior mainline guys.

Do you think the DMEC will make as big a stink about this as they did when Comair was doing the shuttle? ie "They simply don't meet the standards of our product."

acarpe just got spanked again on the regional forum for "Comair Is Going Bye-Bye." As it turns out, I guess he was actually talking about the Delta Shuttle.

DALPA needs to put a stop to this!

Bring Delta wholly-owned carriers in house and scope out the contract carriers.

 

[contrail67]

So....was this brought up in the merger talks? Ouch.

So you can strike again and put the screws to Delta? You made your bed, now you're going to have to sleep there. Diversification will be the order of the day.

The DMEC, doing business as ALPA, is responsible for it!

Before the last big RFP, the DMEC tweaked their scope clause to allow larger, and until then, unpermitted aircraft [at Shuttle America, Republic and Skywest's CL-900s at the time] to fly Delta code.

The number of competitors for Delta flying went up. More RFP bids came in.

At least when Comair was flying the shuttle, (which, by the way, the Delta MEC protested in court) the money stayed on the property and the flying was done by ALPA pilots at Delta Inc.

The karma here is rich but is this the type of behavior one would expect from a labor union?

Yo Poindexter! How many ASA pilots have you flown with in the last 73 days?

(He can tell us exactly because he has a dedicated column in his logbook marked "FO's previous employer")

Hey, is "anal retentive" hyphenated?

 

[Cpt Oveur]

back on point, the LGA-BOS segment of the shuttle is staying in mainline's hands. Looks like they're trying to put the right size plane on the market. Just so happens that the plane is flown by Republic.

You're right....how dare they actually strike for better pay and work rules....

Republic isn't adding any more airplanes so this must mean they're moving some of the 175s outta ATL

It's amazing how many regional guys troll the majors boards in search of hope, and crying and moaning. I'd worry more about my job at Comair if i were you--speaking of karma.

In the meantime--:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

MD88's getting pulled out of LGA-DCA, being replaced with new (76 seat) E175's.

Mainline to be completely phased out from January 5th to March 28th.

More mainline jobs lost to Republic and the mighty E170. Sorry guys.

 

[General Lee]

Have you seen any announcements yet of mainline parkings? They may reallocate those Shuttle MD88s to MSP or DTW. Why didn't I see you post something like this when Akron to ATL went from all MD88s to RJs? I think they will move the MD88s somewhere else.


Bye Bye--General Lee

When are you going to stop criticizing other pilot groups for doing the exact same thing you do at expressjet? How about acting on your principles and organising a movement at your company to have all the pilots leave so real Continental pilots can have their jobs back? You're such a blowhard hypocrite.

 

[hockeypilot44]

At least the Shuttle America crews can feel like Delta pilots......until they get their paychecks.

Good point. The DCA-LGA route is much better suited for the 175. The 88 routinely had 70+ seats open on that route. Talk about wide open...
