Just letting any potential new hires know that all ERJs are slated to be retired and NO aircraft are slated to be added. Don't come here unless you want to go down with the ship like the rest of us.
Actually I read the email as a way to inform guys that this PBS training is not to sell PBS but to help them make an informed decision, if you truly fly at Eagle you know that the FA are being sold that they will get better lines and many more lines for the junior FA because of PBS, they don't get to vote. Many of the FA are under the impression that PBS builds sequences and are spreading this to the pilots. This email was sent to squash the misinformation.

The reason we see this email differently is because you are very negative and perceive everything as bad and people out to get you.

As of Today there is nothing official regarding Mesa flying routes that are currently assigned to the AMR network. So I am not assure about all this talk bout them holding classes because of the trial, US Airways owns a significant amount of Mesa but that still doesn't explain the delay in classes since there are 30 airframes that will start arriving in 6 months or so.

They are actively trying to sell everyone on PBS. There was some computer guy telling two old wrinkled CAs in ORD how great PBS was on Tuesday. ALPA has always been a willing accomplice of AMR management, why would that change now? The fact they're even talking about making an "informed decision" is ridiculous, there is no upside to PBS. ALPA should be counseling the pilot group to vote no, period.

Some dude who didn't appear to be a pilot. Looked like a guy they hired specifically to tell people how to use PBS.

It was probably one of our own PBS trainers, they are only supposed to be teaching folks how to use the software and that is it.

Well good paying attention there slick. These are pilots who volunteered on their days off and in between sits to attempt to teach us how to use the system. If you choose not to participate and it does pass, enjoy your reserve line. But of course you would have known that is you read any of your e-mails

Anyone with even 1/16th of a brain can figure out PBS. If you've ever used a computer I'm fairly sure you'll be just fine. I realize we have a cadre of geriatric captains at Eagle who may not own computers but I'm not one of them.

I'm glad we have pilots rushing to volunteer to sell out the pilot group, as if AMR and ALPA weren't bad enough on their own.

You'd be surprised the overall thought process of those who went to these PBS training events.. a majority went in hating it, and came out hating it worse.
