Is there a solid date that the Air Wisconsin flying ends?

I'm not sure if there's a hard date systemwide, but by the last week of February, PSA and us are slated to do all of the 50 seat PHL-ORF runs FWIW.

Any idea on when the new contract negotiations begin?
Is it just me or are rumors about merging with Envoy becoming more prevalent? I have a terrible feeling this would mess up our seniority/flow bad.

Hopefully that happens! But like crap I came to Piedmont because I didn’t want to work for Envoy. Ah well.
The rumor about getting shiny new 175’s eventually way down the road makes more sense when combined with the merging rumor.

Love it. But I do not want to merge with those guys

Rumor was the two MECs met in DC recently. Unknown what they were talking about. Probably just how much $$$ and flow they can squeez from big daddy

If people are talking about a merge with Envoy, why not a merge with PSA too? What would the logic be behind merging two of the WO and not the third? If consolidation is the name of the game, why would they not go all the way?

Aint happenin! And they can keep their 175s too. No regional should be flying anything bigger than 50 seats and every regional pilot should recognize that. Guess that ship sailed a long time ago, though

Probably because Envoy operates 145's.

More than likely. Not too much to talk about except numbers, otherwise not really worth going.
