JohnyChimpo22 said:Well, I just listened to the PSA code-a-phone. Its true, you were offered 900's. Well there goes the 900 pay scale. If you guys accept those aircraft under your current payscales, you will be no better than Mesa. Grow Balls and if it goes to a vote, vote NO! AWAC doesn't want them unless we get the BAE-146 payscale moved over, please set the bar high.
jetfo said:Great idea, PSA turns them down so you can go back to the negotiating table, get another bite at the apple, and you guys agree to lower CRJ900 rates!
Sure, let's give you guys 20-40 CRJ900s. Why not, we have already ceded some of our best routes to you guys! Let's keep giving!
There are at least 350 FOs on your property that have realized that movement is coming to a screeching halt after the exodus last year. They, along with many of your captains sitting reserve in ORF/DCA/PHL would do almost anything to get growth aircraft, including giving up on the RJ85 pay scale if it were put up for a vote!
You did it before in 03 and you'll do it again, just like everyone else when it comes to their position versus the alternative!

BoilerUP said:jetfo, it is painfully obvious that you don't know a fukcing thing about Air Wisconsin or its pilot group by making such an ignorant statement.
The Air Wisconsin MEC and pilot group have spoken loud and clear - we will not take concessions for growth, and we will most certainly not take concessions to steal away someone else's flying. We didn't do it to bid on Northwest flying, we didn't do it to bid on Midwest flying, and we won't do it to take PSA's flying. Air Wisconsin pilots are not your enemy.
I have friends at PSA and I wish the best for you and your group. This decision is a difficult one for you and your coworkers. Having said that, I would not fly 900s for those proposed rates. I may be one of those junior FOs you think you can predict, but I know my value and I am worth more than those payrates; your pilot group is too.
Good luck...you'll need it...
