I had an AQP ALPA lunch today, and it was all doom and gloom. One of the ALPA guys said to make sure you have your applications in everywhere.
They also mentioned that SkyWest Inc. didn't even bid for the 9E fifty seat flying, and they plan on ExpressJet shrinking.
Additionally, they mentioned that the ERJ side of the house is still pushing for a globalized PBS system.

Ca Tony. It's true. MEC chair was present with at least 3 reps. I only caught some of it but those parts mentioned I did hear.

All of this is news to me (except the last sentence), and I spend a lot of time in the ALPA office.
Please PM me what ALPA reps were present at this event (I have a pretty good idea already). I'd like to get to the bottom of it. I will say there has been a lot less doom and gloom lately. I definitely don't think its time to abandon ship.

16 ERJ145s were removed from contract during the third quarter of 2014.
SkyWest anticipates 18 ERJ145s will be removed during the fourth quarter of 2014, and 23 ERJ145s and 9 ERJ135s will be removed during the first half of 2015.
As George Costanza says "it's shrinkage"!

From what I am hearing all the preaching about waiting until the end of the year was just falsifications. I hope i'm wrong, however what I have been told by several people is that the "additional" or "replacement" flying was simply never bid on and it was never the intention of the company to bid on it. It was just a perpetuated falsification either by the company or by the union. I hope this information is incorrect however it would surprise me if it is.
To the people "in the know", please pm me with details as I would like some honest and concrete answers as to what is going on. If our union members who have been spreading these things were mistaken I would like to know why they were lead astray and by whom.
Finally, this nonsense has only served to cause further divisiveness between the two groups. Perhaps now we can finally focus on getting a solid contract and ending the ridiculous squabbling over pbs.

Not to mention the fact that such news could potentially open up the possibility of criminal charges if someone were to use the information to conduct insider trading.
Anyone who says they know of RFPs weeks, let alone months, in advance is full of ****.
