The issue at hand everywhere... "large RJs" are not RJs at all. Hence RJ level labor rates/contracts are no longer acceptable. If you believe in the concept of "large RJs" you are either: brand new to the airline career, or management, a management Stockholm Syndrome brainwash/hostage victim, or a Skywest pilot. In any case, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

I'm not involved Luis. Will is. I told the MEC I don't believe a TA is possible that will pass member ratification. But hey, maybe Will will surprise me... I still expect SGU to proceed with plan B... How is your plan B coming?

looks like Brad ( CEO) has been given 1 year to turn this place around. If we are operating, like we are now, we will be shut down over the next few years. Oh well, that's life what can I tell you. I tired to keep hope alive but now see the end of the road for us. Hope all have apps in because in 2 to 3 years is all we have left if Brad fails.

It's a neutral bid. Par for the course for this **** hole of a company that refuses to upgrade. Don't worry people i'm sure it will work out. Nothing like Sheehan's update saying they can't hire enough FO's, but no problem people, we will be able to shrink so all is good. For all I care the faster they shut this place down the better. I can't wait to collect some unemployment. I'm seriously over it and that pos notice just made steam blow out my ears.

I find it hard to believe they are taking convicted felons. That can't be true.

Ok, I thought you had taken some kind of advisory position. Plan B done. Now working on plan C. You?

Actually, there will be some upgrades due to attrition, just no growth, but we already expected that.

Yes... because
1. They shared that information with you and
2. The first stop publicly traded companies make on the path to profitability is "screw it just shut it down"
