You work for an airline that bought a failing airline with an inflated ego...Hindsight being 20/20 we should have just let ExpressJet fail.
2nd lowest rate reset = failing

Our merger was like tieing two cinder blocks together and hoping that they will float. No point in being ****ed about it but everyone needs to wake up and realize this place has no future.

Just curious is there any way a person junior to me gets a line without any pre assigned credit/training/vacation? Been leaving messages with Alpa past two days but no call backs. Just scratching my head on this.. This is on CRJ side btw..thanks

Maybe your last trip of this month put you close to 30/7 in the first week of next month so it couldn't find a trip for you that first week which kicked you to reserve. That has happened to me once. Are you calling the PBS hotline or just ALPA? The PBS line is usually good about getting back fast.

Probably your preferences, 28.5 in 7, 7 days straight... etc.

Hourly rates aside L-XJT's contract is one of the best I've worked under. I think that'll be beneficial to the L-ASA side in the new contract. So letting XJT fail may not have been in your best interest.

Did you remember to allow single days off? That cost me a line one month...
