FLOPS and XO Jet

[dime line]

Good insight as to what has happened and is happening at FLOPS. I hope for all your pilots sake that an agreement is reached and there is a pay raise in your future. I could see why the merger talk would be prevalent. If it happens, I get to fly with some friends that work there. Just hope it works out in everybody's favor... Usually someone gets the sh!t end of the stick on these deals though.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to explain the whole situation

Congrats on getting on with XOjet though, some of my friends that were fired May 23 tried to get on with them. I would have been jealous if they did. Sounds like a great company.

Cherry, if a merge or buyout happens, are you pulling for a DOH or Staple merge of the lists? (sounds like Am West and USAir).

Doesn't matter too much. What is the DOH for the most senior guy ot XO? Even junior guys at FLOPs would probably top him.

I believe the last class hired with us was at the end of 2005 before the union vote. That of course does not include the recent new hires that were hired at the beginning of this year.

I would not put much stock in merger either. Look at who the owners are of both. We used to visit our competitors operations all the time for areas that we shared operational concerns.

XO pilots will be stapled to the bottom remember travel air?

We aint RTA my friend... and, there is zero chance of a merger anyway. Try not to lose sleep over it.

The higher the hopes....the greater the fall.

Heh. Want to make a little wager on that?


Travel air guys NEVER thought that they'd merge with Flight Options. When the rumors were too strong they decided it would be possible for RTA to buy out Options.


What happened was Options bought out RTA.


Never say never.

Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? $5.00 or $10,000? You pick-what's little in your world?

WOW! You really have no idea about what's going on! Just stick your head back in the sand and it will get better.
