According to our MEC update the meeting centered around refleeting, but also discussed continued dhc-8 flying and future possibility of jets of different sizes and types.

Seems to me, nothing specific is being discussed and hashed out at the meeting and this is all just a play to get Envoy back to the table.

12th year 700 rates with COLA raises hits $97 8 years from now (1% raises baby!) I'm not sure what EGL's is at the end of their DOS raises but it's probably better.

Wow, good for you. You're flying twice as many seats at PSA. If we were flying 76 seat jets I'm sure we would accept nothing less than PSA rates, not to mention our contract including health care and vacation is 10x better than PSA and in many areas better than Eagle/Envoy. Keep in mind, right now we have out station basing. It's much cheaper to live in SBY, MDT, or ROA than it is to live in DFW, MIA, ORD or even CLT. We go to hub basing we better take that COLA into consideration.

10x better? I pay $100 per month for health insurance, you must only pay $10? I get 3 weeks vacation, you must get 30 weeks? Wow pdt is awesome. And our planes seat 50 or 67 pax, not "twice the size" of your dash.

Parker is feeling lonely today and requests a "private meeting" with one of his PSA pilot btches. Close the blinds and lock the door behind you...

Stop crowding! Don't trip over each other, one at a time!

take things literally much? I should say our contract is better than PSAs. How's that cxld vacation, hold to mainline and pay caps working out for you? What's your healthcare at now? 28% capped at 33%? Ours is 16% capped at 18%.

Are you willing to give those things up for new company revenue generating equipment?
