That didn't answer my question at all. What are the scheduling provisions that make quality of life better? I know know some very senoir FAs over there and their QL is not nearly as good as mine much further down the list at a RP company. So, I hope that there are some very different...

I agree that discussion can only help. I am curious, is there a contract? If so, what is better in that contract? As this seems to move forward beyond anyone's control, information, such as what might be better in the MDA pilot contract, would be helpful to those of us at an RP company. If...

Furloughedagain, Sorry for repeating you. I was very slow to type my response. I must point out again the threat from non-citizen workers. That is the next RJ-Regional issue and if we miss that ball it is over for all of us. I am curtain that management is sitting around hoping we do...

Thank you Nostradamas, We are in a dire time. Looking back can only remind us of what is lost. Looking at the present we can only see what is being lost. We must, as a whole, look forward. To that end, how can we choke off the supply of legally qualified workers both domestic and abroad...

Just curious, what is the "good reason to believe"? Any facts? Just speculation? If so, reasons for speculation?

Good for you then. If you are happy with the service you receive then by all means, continue. If you care about labor relations that is one thing, if you do not then buy the cheap ticket. My point was that you will, on mainline or express, get what you pay for. When mainline is treated like...

Yes, we did have 190 rates in our contract. They were there long before there was a J4J deal that had anything to do with E-190s. They were a last minute addition to our contract before closing. They were managements idea and if you care to look they beat Jet Blues rates. What of it? That...

You don't pay attention do you? I am not attacking you. However, I will point out again that I have worked in the environment of US Air, TWA, America West, American, Delta, United and USAirways. I say again, the attitude at USAirways, much like that which you just displayed is by far the...

Good point. Very witty, but also true. Except the Scab part. You are too emotionally involved to know that you sound like an idiot throwing around terms that don't apply. When did USAirways go on strike? Was that last week? I'm sorry I was busy last week I must have missed that.

Only half true. I have had the benefit of working in many different corprate environments. I am sorry if it hurts you to hear that USAirways is by far the worst. Both from the employee and the customer stand point. You stand to gain a great deal if the culture of America West takes over for...

Then stop buying tickets. If you know and care then don't do business with a company that operates like this. Please. Please. Please.

How very wrong. ALPA came up with J4J. CHQ did not invent it or even like it. It was shoved down on us. We did vote no the first time. ALPA persisted. The only thing that we can now be accused of is protecting the scope in our contract. That is what we learned from ALPA's mistakes. You...

Not a violation of J4J when only two pilots accepted the bid to fly this aircraft. The bid was there. No one took it, remember. "All or None"

Because lawyers know how to make money. Most are not the ambulance chasers you see on TV. They get paid win or lose.
