ExpressJet to fly for....American

[Jetlink]

Why would ACA have to do all of UA's flying? They weren't UAX till the 90's, *AFTER* Air Wisconsin had been bought by United

Ugg, ok....then Air Whisky do all of UA's flying...everywhere....(its a tie here since both had pretty good contracts)..

 

[Jetlink]

I won't argue with that.

Because you can't argue...it's ok. Name calling....such a great way to debate a topic....

I would like to reaffirm the point that this thread is gay mainly due to people that I call coworkers.

LMAO,

Are you guys really ready to throw punches because some As=hole says something? How many rumors are there right now about XJT?
Until I see a press release, I don't believe anything.

I GOTTA give it to you, Jetlink, you take the bait crown for the month.

Holy sh=t.

I don't know about the rest of the information you posted, however proving runs are not required for given routes if the company already operates the type of airplane. The FAA does not care about where you fly an airplane if you have proven your ability to operate it.

They weren't FAA proving runs. Our management and safety pilots fly any new routes before us line toads touch it. Special departure procedures, DD, TC and dispatch numbers all have to be developed and tweaked.

To my fellow XJT's who are getting all stupid over something that hasn't been announced yet, good lord, grow up and show a little restraint and class folks.

To those of you that think we underbid anybody, guess again. We have the best product out there, and are capable of cities and loads that no other 50 seat operator can do. Your airlines came to us. Not being cocky, simply the facts.

To everybody: We fifty seat lift providers don't own any flying. Our customers do. You guys seem to forget that a lot.

Best of luck to everybody.

As long as we all know that Jetlink is the best of the best of the best. "I can't believe that I have to do this, but I gotta send someon to Top Gun........You were #2....Comair was #1, they just washed out, turned in thier wings."


Ha ha....

"Best product out there??" Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. What airlines want a 50 seat A/C that can fly for 4 hours? None that I know of, they want mainline Jets to do that work. The XR is VERY uncomfortable after 2 hours.

I wonder what Flight Options and other part-135 Legacy operators (ie Swift Aviation) think about this potential development? Would Coex use its 145s or its 135s for the charter operation?

Certainly would add some route variety for the Coex pilots who get to do the flying... Get ready to shoot approaches at Aspen...

They would be 145's. Isn't swift primarily an aircraft management company where the Legacy is concerned? At any rate, I don't think we'd be cometing with their market, our jets are at best 4 hour airplanes. Much shorter legs than the Legacy.

Aspen again after a two year hiatus? Sweet! Gear Down and Flaps 22 by Red Table, Ice, coffee and newspapers!

Upgrade times?? At Eagle?? LOLOLOLOLOL....ohhhh, yeah...thats a good one.

Maybe its that flow-back provision they have there at Eagle.....hmm....because their flow-through provision SUCKED big time.

Why didn't AMR buy XR's so they could actually fly the routes they want flown? They still could if they wanted too.

It is easy to slam those who's company "takes" flying when that pilot group isn't paid the highest. Its not so easy to do when a company who's pilot group does have the industry leading contract is awarded the flying.

Hey, I was kept out of "upgrading" for 3 years because we had a little thing called a flow-back provision that let CAL pilots flow on back down should there be a furlough, and there was. I wasn't happy about it, but its hard to argue with a deal that is contractual, I knew it existed when I got hired, and lived with it.

CAL flowed roughly 450 back to Express, maybe more I can't recall off-hand, but CAL has "flowed-through" nearly 1800 pilots from Express to CAL. I'd say that was a pretty good deal, at least for the 1800 or so and now those behind them all who "moved up" the ladder.

I will always believe that a strong small jet provider who has a close relationship to one "mothership" is certainly more beneficial to all rather than a piece-mealed system of redundant providers, but who am I but a lowly pilot

XJT is not taking away "routes and upgrades" that Eagle believes should have been theirs. Eagle voted their contract in. They have to live with it's realities. If you were hired at Eagle in the last 10 years and you didn't expect 12 years in as an FO, then please tell me how you passed the drug test because the main reason I never applied to Eagle, although they had the best base structure, is because even I knew and had heard from those there, that it certainly was not "the place to be."

Holy crap I love beer!! It makes this thread even more funny. Dude, did you actually read what I wrote. I don't care if you really do work for the bestest regional in whole wide wide world. I have many many friends at Eagle. BOTTOM LINE.... YOU WILL BE LOOKED UPON AS A PILOT GROUP THAT IS TAKING FLYING AWAY FROM THEM......Don't take it personally. If this "rumor" is true, get ready for the slammin bud. Now, back to the beer!!!!!!!

:beer: Well I try. Over 2000 views in something like 6 hours...NOT BAD!!!! I am trying to beat COEX MX caught in bucket thread, but people are just all about the blood and guts, and not about understanding that we are the BEST!! (not our mechanics obviously)

God I crack myself up sometimes.

"Best product out there??" Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. What airlines want a 50 seat A/C that can fly for 4 hours? None that I know of, they want 70 seaters to do that work. The XR is VERY uncomfortable after 2 hours.

now that was some Funny Sh_t right there
