No, you're NOT at an impasse. If you were at an impasse, the mediator would issue a proffer of arbitration. You got parked because one or both sides weren't "behaving" in a manner to move the process and the mediator is sending a message to shape up.

In fact, the agreement for the flying may well work in your favor and give you additional leverage if your people don't get foolish and think they can get the moon. The mediator will likely be looking at this move and the company financials and abilities differently now.

Bring your A game and leave the egos and arrogance at the door. (That's not directed specifically at you or your group, but SOP in a situation like this)

Good luck.

Now thats a huge increase in price and a real rip off for 100hrs multi time!!

Don't get suckered in to these 1-800-jet-jobs academies. Do like I did, go to a mom and pop FBO, spend way less, and achieve the same result. There is no listing on your certificate of where you did your training, nor does any airline care. With the shortage of applicants at the regionals, if you meet the quals, you'll more than likely get a job. At least at my airline, they are hurting for qualified applicants.

Skywest airlines. He's their number one cheerleader here.
In a nutshell: Skywest rules the world. Every other airline bows down to their power and grace. Heck, they bailed out UAL!

Says he.

agree. I was fortunate to have received some instruction from a old-as-dirt cropduster pilot when I was a student. he would buy fuel at the mom/pop FBO I was taking lessons at and later CFI'ed at. To this day I still hear his voice in my head.

Loved how BB explained that he would still give his LBFO to the newly scheduled nmb sessions, even though we are now in the reprehensible financial position of paying for 50+ new emb's.

How benevolent of the worshipful master to condescend to us again with his olive branch. What a visionary leader we serve...

I hate this place.

Suit filed by ALPA and AEFA today to get the motion thrown out regarding the Republic flying for AA . I wouldn't give it a second thought about having any traction but just putting it out there.

I don't get it. What brand does SKW fly under?

The paperwork filled is not about brand, it's about sending the jobs to RAH without giving Eagle consideration, after they asked in the court fillings for concessions and got it. They are not so much going after the judge but they are asking for the UCC to do a better review. SKW uses the American Eagle brand in LA.
