That is correct. It means since the company is offering the leave, that you keep your health insurance, acrue longevity and maintain your travel bennies while you are away.

If you were to take a personal leave of abscense, you may not get to keep any of the perks of the job while you are out.
 
Now you can work at RAH instead for $2-5 less per hour and the chance to fly a big shiny 170. Sweet. Enjoy.

Ummm......because it's the regionals forum? This was hardly a vs. thread. It was a question about one airline, what's the problem?

nah nah nah nah nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh;)

next time you see a shuttle or republic crew, let them know how you feel so we can read about it later.

No, won't do it. Then continue to post under your secret screename and talk sh!t about us. Big wittle man you are.:beer:
 
geeze, you RAH guys sure are sensitive. Did I not post facts? Xjet is not hiring....CHQ is....hmmmmm...yep. Brand new 170's are shiny, yep. You work for less money....yep. Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes I guess. Keep up the tough guy attitude nice next time you ask me for a ride to IAH....better be nice unless you like waiting for the next flight. Better yet get a better contract next time. That's the one area where you actually have my support. Why are you even reading this post anyway? Did I miss something or isn't it about xjet employment?

Whatever helps you sleep at night, chief. If you can't put 1 and 1 together vis a vis the loss of coex flying and the reason for branded's existence, then I think you'll find the biggest dumbass of all staring back at you in the mirror. Might be time to read those reports again, dip$hit.

The reason for branded's existence is they chose to do it didn't they? I dont think any twisted their arm. I've read your post over again. Nice big talk about leaving people at the gates etc. You're still an idiot. What's your name if you're so big? Or do you want to make these little threats of yours and sit while you sit here throwing rocks from the bushes? I've dug through several of your other posts to make sure I wasn't being prejudice... nope... You're and idiot.

Nobody twisted their arm eh? Do the names Rev. Bedford, Larry Kellner, and Jeff Smisek ring a bell?

You're and idiot.

Classic.

I'm sure you could figure out my name if you really wanted to, I don't keep it a big secret. There's no reason for me to make it easy on you though. Best of luck with that research if you want to find out, Chance.

Try not to get so bent out of shape when your 170's get called shiny and someone points out your payscales though, seriously, if you're that sensitive maybe RAH and the regional airline industry in general isn't the place for you!

Best of luck,

Dont need a ride. I dont commute. wouldnt ride on your pos smelly planes anyways.

I dont know what is worse. Your smell or ASAs
 
Listen guys, I just flew two 145's for CHQ that were not as shiny as the one's I used to fly at XJT. So what?! Pay and QOL is what matters. I live in base now and we are in contract negotiations for higher pay now, so I feel confident I'm in the right place. BTW, in case you haven't noticed... no company is going to be matched in pay ever. As long as they are in the same ball park and are striving to improve that through negotiations and improve work rules, that's what really matters! Don't think flying the 170 makes you a god and don't jump to conclusions thinking that all of us at CHQ are a**holes, because we are not. Every airline has it's share of retards. Fly safe!

I agree! :beer: There is nothing better than not commuting. CHQ was lucky to get you. I hope all is well!

Unfortunately Kellner is the reason that branded even came into existence. If they didn't pull those planes and then have the nerve to ask for them back, then there never would've been a branded side of ExpressJet.

These days it's all about the cheapest costs. I don't know much cheaper CHQ and Colgan are, but I would guess that they are since Kellner is really sticking it to XJT for whatever reason.
 
The rumor is that even if we had said we would fly the planes for free Kelner still would have pulled them since he wanted to diversify every since prior to contract 04 when we voted to strike. If we had struck, CAL would have gone bankrupt in something like 90 days and have had to shut the doors something like 30 days after that. This was the first chance that he could pull airplanes and he did it. Does it suck for us, yes, but the newest rumor is airplanes coming back to CAL(XR's for EP's 1:2 ratio, 135's being removed, and some other stuff). Is this a good thing for us, could be, we could buy new airplanes(not subject to the CPA restictions) to replace the ones being parked or we could shrink. Who knows.

My advice to those in the pool are to go elsewhere. Who knows when we are going to have another new hire class and upgrades are so slow you will sit reserve for a while. If your in the pool right now in the time that you would go to training, sit reserve, and hold a line here as an FO you could upgrade at a place like TSA, Pinnacle, Mesa, Colgan, Mesaba, Compass, etc...
 
They have to let us know in '09 to pull them in '10. Cal is still on the hook for the lease on these airplanes, they will not/can not let us go down the ********************ter since they are the ones who own the leases. We simply pay them. If we go TU than CAL is responsible for the leases on 247 aircraft.
