Likely American Eagle Fleet Reduction - Article With Another Crazy Boyd Prediction

[ex j-41]

Perhaps what we need is legislation that requires all American flying to be done with American pilots with American airplanes. Same for US Airways/United/Delta.....

Thanks BOX OFFICE!

Duh.......JennyLeigh another master of the obvious! PUTZ!

Looks like scope is on the chopping block. About time. No union can protect jobs ny dictating business decisions. Regionals will gravitate to larger guage aircraft and AMR is kicking off the parade. I see 100 seaters going to regional partners. Or APA and ALPA are going to have to treat regional pilots as equals. I'm tired of being pissed on by DALPA and being told It's raining. Treat us as equals or we'll run under your bar. Just like everyone did to the Comair pilots. Limbo this Moak!

Absolutely not. A judge will not give unilateral decisions to management, he will likely allow them to negotiate. The APA will probably give them more 70 or some 76 seaters, but nothing larger. It didn't happen in any of the other BKs. The smallest mainline plane ordered by AMR is the 124 seat A319, and even they stated it was for AA mainline, at a B-scale rate though. The APA won't give that up. The other large legacies are doing well financially, so no scope erosion there either. You need a drug test.



Godspeed!

Creating an Eagle based compensation package for airplanes under 124 seats and combining the seniority lists would seem like an easy solution to all of this. AMR has the homogeneity to accomplish this where it would be impossible at DAL or UAL.

The PID initiated by the Comair MEC would've fixed this 10 YEARS ago! We tried to solve the whipsaw problem, but the arrogance of ALPA won out. ALPA has another chance, but they'll screw the pooch again.

T or F? You guys wanted DOH? Maybe GL can answer this question.

A newhire class of 20 was told not to show up tomorrow. The furloughing has begun.

Six,

Yes, the Comair and ASA pilots thought they would get DOH when Delta bought them because that was supposedly what the ALPA merger policy stated. But, that is for like sized carriers, not big ones and small ones. Career expectations are different for each. I actually saw an ASA guy jump up and down with joy, saying he had the seniority to be an MD11 FO (we had them at the time). Just crazy. If they would have agreed to be stapled, maybe it would have been looked at more closely, but the senior guys there ruined that.



Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[comrcap]

No, not doh. I'd been happy with a staple. But, you crackers didn't think your Navy buddies had to go through an rj to get to DAL

YIKES!!!!!!!!!! More applications going out... Good luck to my Eagle buddies out there!!!!!

My friend is/was supposed to interview in a few weeks I believe.

 

[doh]

That is a good idea as it was 15 years ago when the RJ's first showed. But why didn't AAL do that 15years ago?

Management wants to fractionalize union bargaining power and mainline is stupid enough to let them. That is why you have 10,000 pilots flying brand X pax around the world, but only half that number able to bargain for a contract. Your squadron buddy doesn't have to fly the RJ, but he makes vastly less to fly the 737. Pilots are their own worst enemy.

Protectionism is awesome, just like the Maginot line in WWII.

High gas prices and 50 seaters don't go together.


Godspeed!


OYS

But high gas prices, with old ass DC-9's and MD-80's with those gas guzzling engines, high mx, and more expensive labor, is something that goes together ?
