Tell them to squeeze that darn camel until it screams! because coming up short means burning at the stake. Lucky I am no longer in management because I prefer a firing squad myself.

No real easy way to predict.
Are you ORD based?

Better options out there IMHO. Do your homework.
but right now, eagle is still a good option IMHO. Expecting movement is big. Not many places are expecting it, except maybe RAH.

Don't flatter yourself, they sent everyone who had an app on file a message, so did TSA, Expressjet and other. So calm down.

What regional has a fleet plan?

Eagle has no fleet plan
AWAC contract up in 2015
SKW has many contracts but they already amended with Delta and parked some airplanes, and the contract with AA expires in a few years
Expressjet well United will look to move some stuff around and they don't know what they will have
GoJet rumores are that airplanes going to Pinnacle
RAH currently gaining contracts from AA but what happens with their current contracts, what if they can't maintain the levels AMR set on the contract
Pinnacle some 900 but what with the 200
US Airways wholly owned don't know either.


Stop with the whole no fleet plan we are doomed because all airlines are in similar shape out there.

As far as pay cuts

RAH has a crappy contract and are being told that they are expensive
SKW and Expressjet will be affected in 2015 with the Delta reset
GoJet in talks for a contract, if they shrink their cost will skyrocket and their underbid contract might not work out so well
AWAC good contract but full of 50 seaters that expire in less than 2 years.

All the regionals have issues, we are in BK but you need to shut up, seriously you think you are making sound arguments but you just sound like a broken record spreading fear just to make you feel better.

I am not sure that Expressjet crews fly the 200 and 700/900 all together, I believe they are separated, not sure about pinnacle before BK. SKW does fly them together.

They are separated however new hires train on the 200 even if they are going to the 7/9. I know this because i have a friend who is just completing training. Got assigned the 7/900 in ATL. They sent him through 200 ground and sim and are just giving him a differences class and some IOE on the 900. No sim involved.

I believe this is also how Skywest works. I have a friend over there who is a Check Airman. Still waiting for his response.
