So, GoJet took on DL flying at a loss a few years ago in order to get growth, SKW said no new flying for XJT at a loss. Growth has allowed GoJet to attract more pilots and, it seems, more DL Jets. Stagnation has eliminated XJT's ability to get more pilots and we continue to lose jets. GoJet starts to grow even more. XJT barely hanging on. Meanwhile, the MEC's are fighting to the death over PBS.
Doesn't matter how you bid if there's no airline left to bid schedules at. I'm not saying that the lack of a contract is preventing us from getting flying. I'm saying we need to get our priorities straight.
I'm not an airline executive, but it seems like whatever strategy GoJet used wasn't as "stupid" as we were led to believe.

Capt. Tony isn't Santa Claus. He can't ride in on his unicorn and sprinkle pixy dust around and make everything OK. The power lies with the pilots. If they leave places like XJT for places like GoJet, then the pilots only have themselves to blame.

You can blame the slow demise of this company on the junior FOs who are bailing for quicker upgrades or refusing to come here for LONG ones, or you can blame the company for trying to change the rules of a game whose rules were established LONG ago.

Why not get off the internet and get a contract done?

You have to be in negotiations to get a contract done. I don't even think we are meeting with the company right now. My plan is go to work, get paid, update apps, network and hope my bingo ball get called ( of course I mean update apps at a Major not another regional.)

You mean after 5 years the only solution you guys could come up with was we need a magic wand to get this done? Give me a break. Now we know why nothing is getting done. The logical solution is obviously a genie. Someone's gotta have a business card in their wallet for one of those. Or maybe we can send Nevets to the Arabian Desert to look for one. Only a genie has the power to save us from this mess
