Expressjet growing?

[ASA_Aviator]

You misunderstand my sarcasm. I'm not against or unhappy that they are allowing CRJ guys to go to the ERJ side, I'm unhappy that they're doing this at all... They're stalling the contracts when they need to get this dang thing done and the SLI done yesterday, NO one should have to go to the street or to the bottom of anyone else's list. We have a single certificate now, ERJ needs pilots, CRJ is supposedly overstaffed *cough*BS*cough*, ERJ is upgrading gangbusters while CRJ is stagnant... It's gloom and doom on the CRJ side and happy frappyness (embellishment) on the ERJ side.

I'd call you a name too but I won't stoop to your level

The unions need to agree before progress can be made.

Yeah...management is stalling the contract. Keep believing that BS.

If the unions can't even agree, what makes you think the management is the problem here. Oh that right, the pilots are NEVER the problem!

That's what I've been hearing. The two MECs can't agree and that is what's stalling negotiations.

It's a shame. I just hope it doesn't turn out like US Air around here.

What can't they agree on? Seniority? Pay? Work Rules? Sceduling?

Don't know the details but I'm hearing they disagree all that, with PBS being the main obstacle

Yup, so much for the ALPA "brotherhood"

Pilots like to blame everyone else for their problems. They blame management, then they blame the consumer, then the government, then gate agent, then ramper, then hotel can driver etc etc. It as be proven over and over again that pilots are their own worst enemy. It utterly rediculous that two pilot groups from the same union can't see common ground.

Really? Really? No kidding? Ya think?

 

[BOX OFFICE]

The word is ridiculous, not rediculous, moron.

 

[Nevets]

Yea cuz gojet is cheape operation and a good one too. What's your point? At least it's not buying flying like Skywest inc. which is worse buying or undercutting?

Point being that if Gojet underbids (nothing wrong with that), then why don't they do more UAX flying since they've been doing it for years already?

 

[N813CA]

All good regionals are going to loose. Comair has been for 5 years. ASA is next. Expressjet will happen when the contract expires. Gojets of the world will take all of the flying. Very sad. It's the next Mesa.

Each MEC has to represent each pilot group which have different priorities.

For instance, the XJT group hates PBS and the xjt MEC is slowly trying to educate the pilot group on the positives of PBS but it will be very very difficult to get PBS passed in a joint contract.

There's no point on our MECs agreeing to something that the pilot group will reject.

 

[No Delay]

Is ASA's mec trying to educate the pilots on xjet's contract?

I am not so much for or against either contract? If we go with PBS, I want it to be because it is better. I don't want our guys selling PBS just because it's "their baby" or just to win the battle.

I hope everyone is taking a fair look at both.

 

[COOPERVANE]

I would love to hear more about Expressjets bidding method. But our MEC isn't interested in educating us.

I think they consider PBS their baby and benefit from it. They don't want to entertain the idea of any other system.
