Midwest looking for 50 seat A/C

You are one sharp FO, any sources to back that up?
Yeah, didn't think so, any other rumors?

what does me being an FO have anything to do with it? Rumors are coming from out side the pilot group.

Not if the pilots have a say so...they want to see the 900s gone as it is

Of course mainline want them gone. U plans to replace the east coast guppy flying (anything east of the Misssissippi) with the E190, big AD coming out on the older 37's and it will better to park them. This will mean the pilots on the 37 that can't hold anything else will be forced into the E190 which has a lower pay rate and thus forcing them into a pay cut AGAIN.

Mainline and ALPA put the E190 under the umbrella of mainline but both allowed the expansion of the CRJ900 at the regionals and left them out of mainline scope. If, say AWAC can operate the CRJ900 at a good rate for U then that's where they will go regardless if AWAC pilots will be paid more than mainline on the E190.

The 25 plane request is straight from our Director Of Flight Ops weekly message. He stated that Midwest came to us and asked for a proposal from us for 25 airplanes. He said we are working on that right now and should know something soon. So "way" midwest wants 25 planes. Thats all we know right now so we will see.

That must be some TASTY Cool-Aid.

15 to 25 airplanes, official word from our company. You can choose to believe it or not.

OK. I choose that your management is dishing out the cool-aid. I suppose they will want paycuts for those AC. To stay competitive of course.

By the way. They went to all the pilot groups with the same request. Sooo what does that mean??

Again, that is the word our company gave us. As for us taking cuts to fly these airplanes, umm.. no. If our company wants the flying, they can get it without our help. I don't get your second part, yes they went to all the groups with the same request, this is the nature of an RFP. If the Expressjet or Mesa guys say the request is for 10 or 30 or 5 airplanes, then I will be in a position to question our management, until then I am going to go off what they have said.

Ok, I guess you were just being redundant. Everyone knows what an RFP is. You just made it sound like they came to your MGMT specifically with a deal in mind. I was just tryimg to state we all had the same RFP. So i guess our MGMT had the same thing to say to us that yours did.
