And then your boy Bedford files for bankruptcy and your back to square one with probably a bigger POS contract then you voted in!
Our POS contract was still better than yours! But it wasn't good enough so we said no! If AWAC tanks then I'm finished with the airlines unless I have moved on! I stuck Comair out to the end and refused to apply to Republic. I did 6 yrs there and coming up on 2 yrs at AWAC all in the right seat and about 8 months at TSA (Bad decision BTW). I would bet we have less MEL's than your jungle jet on a daily basis despite the age of the fleet! I did a stint in an Embraer product and hated it!
I won't sell out nor will I start again at another regional! At least I won't have do do paper updates til we shutdown! That's comforting!

Umm no! After riding in your jumpseat a few times I'm surprised you are't a newspaper headline! You guys have done wonders for regional airlines by taking a sword for new airplanes! A CRJ is a CRJ despite the wingspan and the # of seats! Just seems the more seats the smaller the paycheck! Long live the angry poodle!

I think regional's have been "ruined" for a long time before some CEO got the bright idea to implement flows. It's just the latest twist in the saga. And it has yet to actually be proven to work. I still think Delta and United are going to come out better than AA because they will be the ones to take their flying back. AA wants to keep its regional's as big and cheap as possible.

AA is taking the flying back. They are trying to take it from the contract carriers and keep most of the flying within there WO's. Durrrrrrr
