Position Notice 15-02 is out. Showing 4 upgrades, but company says that's a minimum, and it can be more than that.

I love how a standards guy gets ripped on for being........standard. I always looked forward to flying with him. Great guy, great pilot, and am happy for him and his career advancement.

if the professionalism is the attitude of the ASA side....no wonder ya'll dwell on something that was closed over a month ago. Instead of making videos to demonize a system, why not use that effort to get something like i don't know....efbs? more flying? bigger planes? a new CPA with delta, ua, aa? but hey, what do i know right?

That doesn't seem fair? But it seems fair to you that the ERJ side concedes while the CRJ side is brought up to meet in the middle? What is wrong with each side just at least keeping what they have?!!! You don't lose ANYTHING and we don't lose anything. Unbelievable!
Skywest Inc purchased Expressjet. I don't think this rumor is true, BUT IF the Inc was going to do this to try to complete the merger, they wouldn't cut their nose off to spite their face in the process. They would just disguise aircraft taken off the CPA, that were going to come off anyway (for whatever reason) and let the pilots twist in the wind trying to figure out if it's punishment. Again, I'm not saying this is true. I'm just agreeing that they wouldn't give away profitable flying just to complete the merger.

I didn't make any videos. I want a defined contribution plan, much higher per diem, much higher wages, EFB's, etc. I also want LESS flying here (and all regionals), with m ore flying at the majors. But I'm also a realist. I know that just not wages, but massive total compensation increases are fighting an uphill battle. Does this mean I will cave, and take whatever the company will offer? No, I'm willing to fight for better, and even the best. But I know that we will never attain what we want (FO topping out at $70/hr, pensions, etc), but I will work for what we need to make a better life. Not just for myself, but for others, and future aviators that come into this profession.
