I'm just taking a guess that the "interesting" is leading to a negative for ATL based crew and L-ASA?

Maybe if you had left out the "Grow up jr." part he wouldn't have got his panties in a bunch.

Finding that one hard to believe.

If accurate, this is really going to suck for some folks. Guess it is good that I didn't bid back to the 200.

And the response to the original comment >> Nice attempt at causing more of a rift between our groups.<<

It appears that he hypersensitive to the truth.

That rumor is so ridiculous it doesn't even make sense. Why would they move our expensive 200s to replace PCLs cheap ones? Not to mention moving expenses, and the cost of expanding a base?

Only you would repeat an FI rumor.

But how would the ASA MEC get to vote on ratification on something that not even the XJT MEC got to vote on?

For starters, this was a MUCH MUCH better run operation before Skywest bought us. And if it wasn't Skywest buying us, it would have been someone else, with just as bad as an operation too probably.

I'd say that permantly created the rift you speak of, all in clear violation of the TPA. Our TPA grievance is 100% legit, and your side knows it. This is why they don't even have the courage to show their faces. They followed McPickle off the cliff, and now it's too late. Enjoy flying those big airplanes for $12 an hour less than me.

Actually, if you read it again, it specifically says, "terms and conditions" and not "pay rates." And like in ANY arbitration, both parties agree ahead of time on protocol (scope and process).

And speaking of rumors, the one I heard is that the MECs have come to a tentative agreement on a dispute resolution on choosing the pbs vendor.

PS It may be $12/hr less but in total compensation, its probably pretty close. There was a discussion about this between post 101-116 on this flightinfo thread: LXJET 70+ seat rates out Flightinfo.com Hangar
