More planes for ExpressJet

[Plainsman]

You are 30 or you are one of the 30?

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

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?

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.

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.
