An airline can get new, better equipment on the property without taking a concessionary contract. This idea that the only options were to take the contract or lose the job is outrageous. All airlines have shifted fleet types. SkyWest used to fly nothing but Metroliners. Now they are all gone and our pay scales went up with the addition of Brazilias and now Rjs. They didn't have to reduce the caps on pay rates to 4 and 12 years. They didn't have to raise the health care costs of their employees to do so.
Skywest pilots were the first to fly 70 seat jets for 50 seat pay.
Skywest forced their pilots into a HDHP, while ASA/XJT pilots were not due to their CBAs.
Skywest pilots got their biggest raises over the last decade when union talk was strongest, or following contractual gains at peer groups like ASA.
Your company has grown significantly, but its not been in a vacuum...

You think most of us haven't been applying to better places long before this ta was even crafted by management? The tricky part is getting a call. If your advice is walk away from 7 years longevity and come be a year 1 fo at xjt, then thats advice you wouldnt follow and you know it.
ding ding ding!!!! all this BS about unity and taking one for the team, until it affect THEM! Yes XJT pilot, how bout showing real unity and letting any PSA/Pinnacle person that quits and gets hired at XJT keep his longevity and seniority? And you do realize, even your almighty ExpressJet would have been considered a bottom feeder at one time.....ask me I worked there.

50/50 chance slats or the person she heard it from is "exaggerating" for dramatic effect. Probably got denied for w/b and the CA thought he'd be a tough guy and tell everyone he denied him for being PSA. Big talkers are known to do that. (not you necessarily slat, just in general)
