The whole regional airline industry sucks..and is getting worse by the day. Places that seemed bullet proof are now starting to get pinched. The race to the bottom is in full swing....

To be honest I've always seen TSA dying with the UAL contract. No source, but I've heard the UAL contract is up sometime in 2013. I guess the easiest way would be to find out when the leases started. I think all of the leases were 10 year leases so if you could find out when TSA got the planes you could figure out when they were leaving.

Of course I never thought we would get a TA before we died so who knows whats going on. The only thing I've learned is that stuff seems to always come out of left field with TSA....

It's no rumor about 9 planes going away by next year. There was a wind up to the full original 18 EMBs TSA was flying for UAL. Now there's going to be a steady winding down of that flying. By the end of next year 2012 9 EMBs will be gone. Sad but true. Funny about the pilot job update thing with gjets though.

If any of you plan on ever upgrading at Trans States, I suggest you go here:
Pilot Information

I'm quite certain that most of us have all that time to upgrade. Most of us have sat in the right seat for so long at this airline, hearing every reserve captain tell us about how 1000 PIC is all that matters, then complain how they're on reserve. So we've all learned, get the PIC and GET OUT.

GoJet Pilots have rubbed it in our faces long enough that they get hired anywhere else with the 1000PIC.

For serious? This is some dangerous thinking. But I'm curious to see where you're going with it... elaborate.

so the UAL contract expires...then what? can it be renewed/extended? can we acquire more flying without an RFP? and when do the furloughs begin?

We're all done with IOE and on the line now, pretty sure. Only five of us though with two being IAD-based.
