One problem that I've seen here at 9E that makes it hard to mount a successful safety campaign is that many, many of our flights are overblocked like heck. I've been on many flights where, flying profile, you end up 25-20 minutes early. So, even if you flew 250 the whole way, you would still be close to on-time. Sometimes Mx issues are the only way to "enhance the safety of a flight."
Just wait til winter...

Good point, I was pushing back from A12-13 couple weeks ago, could have gone out to the pad but I did not ask for it. Taxi slow to 17, number 7 for TO. I flew profile, and did not ask for short cuts, and still got to OKC 10 min early.

It's official: 9E negotiations have been put "on ice" by the NMB. Although our union couldnt tell us exactly when they expect negotiations to resume, they did hint at April of next year, which would almost mark the 4th anniversary of the amendable date.

While the 9E pilots are riled up in the corner this NMB move needs to be an awakening to all the carriers- regional or mainline. The "company" has the best position in that they all get to operate on "the cheap" and we get to deal with it. This was a loss for 9E pilots and a shot to the stomach to the rest of the industry.

You were parked because there is too far of a difference between your position and management's. That does not mean that you guys are asking for too much, it just means that management is whining that you guys are to the NMB.

Oh come on, there were plenty of Pinnacle pilots on here talking about how they were sure they were going to be released, and that meeting at the NMB headquarters is a good sign... blah blah blah.
