But the problem is that a good 40% of the combined list know they are never leaving this place for various reasons (age, seniority, finances, family, etc). So they will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat until they can retire. Most of these same people are also well into 6 figures, and a 5 or 6k pay cut isn't going to break them like the company folding would. We call these people "scared lifers".
Risk/reward says keep the current job.... Where's my YES vote...

Senior captains may believe they make too much, and need to take paycuts and work more in order preserve ExpressJet's viability, but I doubt many FOs or junior captains share that sentiment. And if this place can't attract and retain pilots, who's gonna sit in the right seat? You can't be "senior" if everyone below you leaves.

ASA guys...if scheduling tells you to stick around for an hr are you contractually or FOM required to call them after that hr is up. Can someone provide me with the answer? This seems to be a gray area.

Actually- no. You don't have to call back. It's plainly written in the scheduling section of the CRJ contract. If you have not been given an assignment by the end of your 1 hour airport standby, you are released from the airport. You are still on reserve, but you can leave (a call from that point on means I will be at the airport in 2 hours, for a departure 3 hours later).

MOU 16: "A reserve pilot is required to call scheduling after completion of an assignment unless he receives specific notice to be released via an electronic process."
Once they add on the hour wait, I think it's considered to be part of the assignment (we get per diem), so the assignment isn't complete until the hour is over, then you have to call again.

Who the eff cares if you should call them or not? Back when I was on reserve I'd head straight home. Never called. Ever. If they are set up enough to notice that you didn't call, then they would have assigned you something already. If I've got nothing on my schedule, I head home. Sorry, last time I checked I was an adult. So I'll just treat myself like one.
