Makes me wonder with recent time lines and whats going on....
- Republic asks mainline partners to reduce their flights.
- Delta comes up with a TA pretty darn fast.
- XJT Management wants to meet with the MEC's to move along negotiations.

I guess the same can be said again? Word has it, less RJ's and more small narrow bodies at mainline.

Something is stirring
SkyWest apparently has another proposal or one coming their way soon... What's shaking up that Inc. and it's held companies are (seemingly) bending over backwards to get something on paper? And if you believe the posturing in the internal memo to Xjt, it's gonna be "simple" with regard to work rules which could use some tweaking, and more lucrative financially which is way overdue...
Do we try for more or hop on the first opportunity and secure all the flying that these other companies supposedly can't staff?

I guess they're finding out what Gordon Bethune said a while back: "you can make a pizza so cheap, no one will eat it". He was talking about airline passengers, but it goes for employees too. They finally have killed the regional golden goose; I hope.

both sides are the only airlines that can staff more flying. and I'm sure that management sees these airlines struggling. erj sure doesn't have 175s cause we dont have pay rates for them (can't give a price to carriers without having a price to give), and yes i am very aware of all the other factors (past management, contract etc.). Not sure what you guys have over there on the ASA side. Point being, get another contract to get guys in the company, have a rate for bigger planes so that you can bid for more flying. Im liking the intensity of management to get another TA out
