Now you're a confirmed troll. Had an ASA dispatcher jumpseat for multiple legs recently and they confirmed the fact that seniority/contracts have been combined now for a while.

1. Who's Asa?

2. Call the Duty manager you got the number and ask him/her.

3. I got a copy of both documents from an ERJ dispatcher, confirmed by one of YOUR union reps during a casual conversation during an ATL turn. The sad part is he then proceeded to tell me how everyone on the ERJ side is overpaid, I asked them who's interest was he representing, he then told me that "it's complicated" and left it at that.

Ehhh, that's a tough one. Coffee isn't something you can half ass. Foldgers = putting your tongue in someone's... errr, no need to finish that one. Starbucks = the chick you took home from the bar only to wake up and realize you paid and couldn't remember it A.K.A. expensive disappointment. Peet's coffee = the best store bough coffee one can find but management wouldn't go for it because it cost about 1.5x the previous mentioned.

Conclusion to your question is NO

Ok Ok... I kid. But this isn't far from how you guys seem to twist things when talking about you're ALL MIGHTY contract. Oh and as of recently this pertains to the dispatchers too. Next you'll be saying how much better the FA's have it. This just keeps getting better!

wow....I didn't mean to start a fight!!

I don't have my DX licenses yet but it sounds like things are pretty messed up over there at ExpressJet from what I gathered.

One pointed out about the 50 seat jet going away soon.....from what I hear from a guy at DL, the 717 may be used on the regional side, which didn't make sense to me until he point outed longer haul flying but having worked with Delta and a DLC, nothing would surprised me.

From what I've been told, there were no classes in June and, at the moment, no classes scheduled for July. Not sure about August.

Best thing you can do is sell Sky West's stock short....... like that didn't happen the last 6 months. And what is the company trying to do...... get you to buy the junk stock at a whopping 5% discount!!!!!! Sell it short........... take the money and buy a type in a corporate jet....
