Sit on it for a year? So more "competitors" can cave to ALPA's demands of 12/4 and up or out? Great strategy.

The unfortunate fact is that the leadership of both MECs are scared lifers who will absolutely do whatever it takes to keep this place in business just long enough for them to retire. To them, we're cannon fodder.

Expect to see a concessionary TA before the end of the year. I predict it passes in the 60th percentile.

It seems that any concessionary TA will pass. I doubt we will set any type of precedent because of the concessionary TA's that are in existence with other ALPA carriers.

I hope you are wrong.

So what's better for a FL based guy CRJ or ERJ. I thought based on ATL and IAD/DCA flights from TPA/SRQ CRJ was better...thoughts/inputs?

I like your optimism mostly because I've lost mine. Keep in mind that at TA may be concessionary to 2/3 of us and a windfall for the other third.

Tpa-Iad = 3 full flights a day
Tpa-Atl = 12 Flights a day

Thanks, poorly worded question by me. Phone interview discussed that if hired they give you a choice of aircraft if possible. What are differences between ERJ and CRJ besides obvious domicile choices E.G. Delta Express vs United Express vs American? Is the ExpressJet culture the same throughout?

Depends on where in FL. If you live in smaller cities, such as GNV or VPS, ATL wins hands down. If you live in JAX, MCO, or TPA other bases may have less frequencies but the flights may be easier to get on.
