Mesaba is now owned by NWA

[norskman2]

Probably about 15 days... I don't think the time will measured in "months" versus "weeks".

That said, they deserve it. They have been whipsawed worse than any other redtail group to date, and those who are still there slaving away deserve to payback...

I sincerely hope they get full seniority rights into a mainline seniority number and flow-through as NWA hires. After everything they've been through, that would be the only honorable way to resolve it.

Good luck, guys!

Not to put a damper on the flowthrough talk, as it IS deserved by the XJ'ers, who have definitely been through the wringer, and deserve those opportunities. But hiring is always highly cyclical, and the flowBACKS wreaked havoc and pain on Eagle and ExpressJet pilots for a long time.

Slow night in the SOC, Mr. Rainey?

Well, are you going to prove me wrong?

No sir...Mr. Rainey! I wouldn't want to say or do anything that might diminish your excessive bonus for the great operational decisions you've been making!

Next time you're spooning Mr. Campbell...tell him I think his new tasseled loafers are the BOMB!

Hope Spanjers, Foley, and Poerstel have their resumes ready.

Who besides Champion? Compass already has that provision.

Too bad the MEC just put off the single carrier resolution at the MEC meeting. That would have rattled some cages in Eagan.

Heck, they should have passed it just for "fire for effect".

Agree!

The only "aggressive" move this MEC has made is to aggressively delay the start of the Targeted DC!

And to agressively delay the payout from Claim sale 3.

Grrr...

Didn't happen with Comair or ASA, not going to happen at XJ either.

I feel a screwing coming on

Nu,

There is no rational excuse for delaying the Targeted Plan. There is a rational reason for not paying out the 3rd sale yet....it hasn't been sold. (Minor technical point)

The Grantor Trust looks like a good deal for 88% of us, but also looks stoo-pid because they waited until the Opt In window closed to announce it...even though they were debating it in December!

Too much thinkin' and not enough doin' over there!

Actually, by 4th quarter the airlink pilots will have so much to lose they will not want a PID. The time for the MEC to act is now, however, the MEC works for management and not you.

Coffee break's over, Mr. Rainey! Time to get back to figuring out how Staffing got so screwed up.

We haven't been able to hire enough regional pilots to take over the DC-9 flying yet.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Wow! So all those forecasts and confident pronouncements you gave us were flawed? You screwed up the Plan?

What do they pay you for?

 

[YourPilotFriend]

They liked my haircut!
