whats the difference with them flying in ord vs flying in stl? theyre still flying for AA. you guys at eagle need to find ways to better spend your 5 years on reserve.

Careful buddy. That may someday be you by the hands of another airline...

What the hell is an E140???

 

[aewanabe]

The E140 is actually an outgrowth of the E135 airframe (I believe it's designated EMB135-KL, or close), rather than a shrunken 145, and as such it's the dog of the family. It holds 44 pax. It was designed by Embraer specifically to get around rather strong caps in APA's contract on the number of 50-seat and up jets, prior to 9/11. As such, only Eagle and CHQ have ever owned it.

Yea If I was in a airbus or boeing. but right now I work for the lowest bidder, as do you. None of us, inlcuding eagle, owns those flights.

Did CHQ get the memo that there are never any gates available at the Eagle concourse?

that is why they will not be at the G or H gates. they will be at the L gates.

I pretty sure the CHQ pilots would all love to stay in STL and do the easy, commutable, high time AA Connnection trips that base has enjoyed for nearly a decade. Instead, they're gonna commute to a lousy schedule with 6-leg days and most likely a contractual min days off. This sucks for all parties involved, of course excluding management.

Try 7-8 legs, 12 day off for senior pilots, working all weekends, combined with a few deah-heads.

Or you can be furloughed while American, who actually OWNS the routes, gives it to the airline they actually own (Eagle) and who has the airframes to handle it.
