Supposedly their contract expectations are unreasonable, and the pilot group's militancy makes it a difficult cultural fit with the other two groups. They may very well be "Comairized," as "this isn't 1999 anymore."

Hahahahahaahhahahahahahah! That part is hilarious! Pretty good flame bait though. Keep trying!
I love these ASA guys who hit up various message boards to spread rumors of our demise because we won't "get on board" with a horrible contract. It's funny how ASA guys, when I meet them in person, are very nice and want a good overall contract. Nothing like the trolls you see on here or the Crackpipe.

Also, I'm hearing the exact opposite from a friend in management. Apparently the company is getting tired of the sideshow the ASA MEC puts on with negotiations. They view them as unprofessional and immature. But carry on with your flame bait.
Initially I fell for the rumors that XJT was demanding the moon and etc but recently I found out that its just crew lounge rumors that got out of hand. Like the XJT line pilot that made 300k rumor. Although it was my common sense meter that went off on that one.

I think JCBA negotiations will start going strong again when the outcome of the Pinnacle situation come to light

Why are we waiting on the Pinnacles outcome to continue negotiations? Is this so the company will have something to hold over our heads to ask concessions with?

There has been talk of Xjet hiring 200 pilots starting in early 2013. The CRJ side is growing.

And yet CT's last communication claims no hiring decisions have been made for 2013.
