EMB 170 today at CHQ

[mckpickle]

YOu guys are missing the BIGGEST POINT!!!!!!

If the company is intent on getting the 70 seaters they are most likey ready to sign for the airplanes. Do you think they will let a NO vote chanve that?

HELL NO You guys have the most leverage right NOW. The company will cave faster than a Mesa pilot. They are so excited to get these airplanes they will not let you stand in their way, and you can name your price.

Vote NO.

 

[low-key]

lets sum up the 70 seat pay problem right now. First off were not going to see any 170's for at least a year if we even do, so now were 2 and a half years down the road and the 170's are here on property on the line. we sign a 4 year deal in 10-03 that becomes amendable 6 months prior in 4-07. So we deal with the pay problem for what a year and a half or so? the next contract we go after pay, Rome wasnt built in a day folks and the curent TA is a great improvement to our old one.

Exphojump! good post!

Excellent Exphojump!!
someone finally sees the behind the scenes puzzle!!! its amazing how everyone totally ignored it (as it was about the best post in these 4 pages on the subject) and focused on the bickering about pay again. absolutely no acknolegement from the peanut gallery or the stage actors on this one.

i encourage everyone to scrollback a few posts and read the whole thing and just try to understand the BIG picture on what money goes where.

Thank GOD!! I was going to vote yes on the TA, but mckpickle said I should vote no. I guess I will change my vote now!! WOW! It still amazes me how someone who:
A. Doesn't work for CHQ
B. Probably hasn't read past the compensation section
c. Never attended the road show

can tell me or anyone how THEY should vote.

When you have been at CHQ for more than 5 years, and have any clue what this company is all about and where this company has been in the past 5 years, then you can give me advise.

I will NEVER tell another pilot from another airline how to vote on a TA because unless I work there, I will NEVER have all the info. to give such advise. It may no be the best TA, but YOU may not have all the info.(even if the TA is posted on the web)

Sorry rjcapt. I didn't do my own research, just what my union said. See you in DFW

yeah, make sure you attend that roadshow. otherwise you won't hear that the TA is better than CMR and ASA pay for 70 seaters.

we can't have folks critically reading and making up their minds on their own.

you guys just dont get it.....70k a year to fly a 70 seat jet (it may seem like good money now....think ahead 4-5 years..

Not to beat a dead horse but:

1) NW has had how many contracts over the years??

2) This will be the 2nd contract at CHQ (correct me if I'm wrong) since its formation in 1974.

3) In 4 years, we will be able to "stick it to 'em" on pay. Besides, has anyone seen the 170 in service yet.... no, it takes time to bring those online as well.

4)These pay rates are our openers, we build on them from here.

5) Did Comair get an industry leading contract on their second shot during the WORST DOWNTURN IN AIRLINE HISTORY ??

Just some things to think about.

Lazy8s

Have a nice day.......
