The last 2 days have only has 1-2 cancels... out of 2203 flights a day. When there is a Crew cancel it seems to be taged to weather.. as that caused delays and timeouts... untill we are sendiya spread sheet like Mesa does every week for flying they can’t cover do to lack of crews.( ive seen it) I dont think they are worried...

Lots of dodging XJT/UA rumors. From listening to the calls, I'm not convinced it will happen. did hint at industry “shuffling”.(was that a hint at Republic/TSA).??.. XJT will still loose money in 2018. No plans for there 22-CRJ700’s... majors are scoped out.. except AS and AA 65 seaters... On the OO side 42 new 175’s in 2018 other then that just business as usual...

Chief pilots calling new hire FO's and bulling them into another round trip is not proper staffing from the employees point of view.

I agree. Were at horrible staffing levels for the CRJ. ERJ not so much. Talked to a ERJ captain in CRJ training. He flew 250hrs as a ERJ Captain last year... is going to the CRJ to fly more...

Proper staffing would be when you start the day with a 4 hour mx delay they look at your schedule and say “hey we are going to give your next turn to a reserve crew to keep everything on time”.
They get away with it all because they code it as anything under the sun other than not having available crew anytime they can stretch it.

I completely agree staffing is horrendous on the CRJ, and yes there are two different airlines here. I started midwest CRJ and am now west coast ERJ so i can totally sympathize with the guys out there. As far as self funding SAPA I am in favor or unionizing SAPA to get the legal rights and protection from a real contract. I look at some of the protection they have been able to get us without the union and personally feel that is the better way to go. We do have things even union regionals don't i.e. full cancellation pay no matter what the reason, 100% deadhead pay. Yes there are things we dont have that they do. Its my opinion that forming our own legal in house union would be more beneficial to the pilot group. But we will never really know because we will never have it both ways. I agree 5 years ago the math didnt make sense, but given our size now I think the math does work.

Our dead head pay is also at CRJ 200 rate and is only paid credit if it's on our plane.
So it's not like the union carriers.
It's cute that you tried though.
