Not sure if anyone else caught it but Alaska announced we're operating E175s out of Dallas Love starting end of August, increasing in October. Not sure how they would operate out of Love without opening a base. Not sure how they could flow pilots from other bases there.

Well, we did move our hotel in Dallas almost strategically placed between the two airports...
My guess is DFW overnight, day 2 turn to LGA, day 3 turn to DCA, home on day 4 out of DFW.
Thanks for posting Russ. I appreciate your input and feedback.

No it's NOT happening either way! When are we going to get it? This isn't some high school drama game they are playing with us. There are many other airlines who would love to have extra flying. They can (and might) just say screw it and let most of it go away/ They could also give it to the XJT side of the house (and could just to prove a lesson to us).
Giving guys their equal pay is SMART business. If you have to staff extra planes, this is a good way to go.
Most people on here complaining do so habitually. If they gave us a 15% raise, they would ***** about it (why not 17%?!) They need to stop being so selfish and try and see the big picture. WE AREN'T GOING TO GET MAINLINE/LCC MONEY!
This is a good TA for who we are and we need to understand that. Do you want growth? Better pay? Better QOL? Upgrade faster? Be based at and/or closer to home? Then VOTE YES.
I'M VOTING YES (and you should too!)
