More planes for ExpressJet

[Plainsman]

You are 30 or you are one of the 30?

 

[SAABaroowski]

I'm 32, lol and would imagine I'm one of the "30" guys he speaks of. I would imagine he is referring to the XJT MEC, Scheduling Com & Neg com

 

[Nevets]

What about the part that the total UNITED Xpress fleet has to be reduced by about 130 aircraft? So, if this is the case, where will those planes come from?

That only happens IF they increase the number of 76 seat aircraft above 153 BUT that can only happen IF UAL buys 100 seat aircraft BUT that cannot START to happen until 2016. Also, right now UAL has about thirty-five "76 seat" aircraft and that cannot increase until 2014.

How much money would have to be invested for smartPref to be implemented?

How much money would have to be invested for smartPref to be implemented?

Probably LESS than Aceydays, Aceypalooza, SureJet, and whatver else they like to waste money on. Nevermind the " 70 million dollars in synergies".

TFAYD!

Is there someway we can just dump LXJ? I'm sick of these guys.

 

[Abernathy]

Hey I got an idea. Let's cap the CA payscale at 8 years and raise the FO payscale 25%.

You know. In order to stay competitive.

I don't know but it's already been used last month for the EWR base. So some of the implementation cost has already been paid for by the company.

Call Jerry and see

Other than the cost for 3 of us to be offline to do this work....zero. Which one of us would be offline for the merger stuff anyway. Crewing solutions has been baring the costs of this for the last 12-18 months. The company hasn't paid them a cent yet.

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Has anyone from the L-Expressjet side asked how much Flightline costs per month vs smartPref?

You're a LASA pilot. Why don't you ask your people?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Who really gives a flying shirt about how much PBS costs per month. Go study your OM or something useful

Looks like our Flightline PBS days are numbered. This situation looks like a clear message from management to the ASA MEC to either let Flightline PBS go or else.

My how the tables have turned.....

Or it could be a way for management to utilize a pilot group, whose flying is slated to shrink, to fly another aircraft type for another mainline partner at a "competitive" rate amidst a regional pilot shortage.

The PBS sky is not falling.

Or maybe it's for 100 MRJs!

Well, I took that memo to be shot across the bow of Lxjt to get in line or "you'll be left out of any future growth opportunities and you will wither and die"....but I suppose it could be that our management hates our pbs......nah....

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Let me be pragmatic, Nevets. There is no number I could quote on here that you would actually believe. Also, if legacyExpressjet and ASA MECs did its diligence, that would already have been determined.

Yup!!!

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Yup!!!

Someone help me out, but if they're bidding on the Embraer side, wouldnt that imply they can have a cheaper cost? Or at least negotiating for a cheaper cost? Why go through the world of bidding a more expensive product? This is not a warning to the Embraer brothers to get in line, this is a warning to all that they're not waiting for the pilots to bid on new flying.
