I would imgine that by "our company" you are a AWAC guy your self? Either way, it is official. I haven't seen anything posted outside the internal company website, but our MEC has posted an offical proposal as well as a memo from Scott Kirby with details of the plans. It's real. AWAC wasn't offered anything as of now.JohnyChimpo22 said:Where is the proof that PSA has even been offered 900's? I haven't heard anything about AWAC turning down 900's. Last I heard is that our company wanted to swap out 50 seaters for 900's if we had a home for the 200's. That is why we are really working hard on getting the Midwest flying.

The next step for PSA negotiations will go somewhat like this:
Management will say, "If the PSA pilot group doesn't agree to fly the -900 at current payrates then that is just fine."
Next they'll say, "Due to current economic conditions and the continued rise in the price of oil, we have determined that operating a fleet of 50 seat RJs is no longer economically viable. Starting next month PSA will begin returning CRJ 200s to the lessor."
And lastly, "The CRJ-900 flying is still available for PSA to secure. In order to prevent the furlough of half of our pilot group it is strongly recommended that we bid on this flying at our current rates. Your job security and futures are in your own hands, we know you will do what you think is right and best for the pilot group as a whole."
10 of the CRJ 200s can be returned without penalty. This was part of the agreement between GECAS and US Airways before exiting the last bankruptcy. I believe there was a deadline set that returns must me done by and I'll have to look it up. Off the top of my head I want to say it was by the summer of 2006.
