XJ Management's Silence

[WingFan]

They're still trying to figure out how much of a paycut we have to take to retain flying in the new competitive arena. LOL

Not One Dime!

Well, the letter is up now on MyMesaba. Better late than never.

Rant over.

Now we'll see what the future brings.
Good luck to all.

I expect delta to terminate the 900 agreement with mesa and give those aircraft to either XJ or 9E. Most likely 9E in exchange for parking 200's.

Unlikely at best.

For all of us that returned from furlough last April, at least we got to see what a good year at XJ was like.

Here's the new quote at XJ:

" If management doesn't care, why should we"

Message from Management to all XJ Rampers:

"Plesase keep giving terrible service to 9E so we can get some more of that Delta flying! PLEASE have them sit 20 minutes waiting for a push after the door closes and at least that long staring at a gate to be parked. Thank you."

I think it is more likely that they are given to XJ in exchange for the 200's

Do not forget the scope language restrictions of 76 seat aircraft for narrowbody growth at NWA...or is it Delta now. They are not just going to dump a bunch of 900's somewhere that has a scope restriction. Will Delta's scope language now trump NWA's language? Just curious.
Also, I read that Delta is going to 600 regionals....(aircraft) from 800 or so right? Can someone post this info from the source?

This is of course all speculation....but what is to stop the bypassing NWA scope with 70-120 seat jets, flying on NWA routes, under Delta code share?

It can be true that Delta is going from 800 to 600 jets by getting rid of 50 seaters and replacing them with fewer jets in the 70-120 seat range.

From my perspective these are the opening shot's of the consolidation battle. The shell's are falling (hear the whistle?) At this level all y'all can do is continue to go about your business and hope a shell does not land in the fox hole you are taking cover in.

As long as they are operated under the delta paint scheme, they can go to 255 which is 60-70 more Large 76 seat RJ's...

I'm sorry to say it guys but your flying will eventually go to the lowest bidder. Plain and simple. It might not happen for a year or two, but how bad do you want the flying? That is why it sucks being at a regional. The musical chairs will never stop.
