Bets on when regionals will fly 737s in the USA?

[A-300F4-622R]

Do you think it is inevitable? If so, when will it happen and who do you think will be the first to do it?

Depends.... will you major airline pilots man up and hold onto your scope? Or are you going to trade scope for rates on your bigger equipment?

A quick glance reveals that UPS even has regional feed:

Martinaire
Key Lime Air
Air Cargo Carriers
Alpine Air
Wiggins
Plane Masters
Suburban Air Freignt
Bemidji Aviation
Freight Runnersv[/FONT]

To answer your question though, I hope not. I hope that ALPA, IPA, SWAPA, USAPA, et. al., can retain/regain scope without erosion of pay and benefits. Even if it means the airplanes I fly get smaller...

A-300: would you fly a prop for UPS if UPS came to your union and gave you guys the option of giving up a certain weight limit to outsourced companies, or to keep it in house?

Regional: The new mainline.

Already happened.

Piedmont Airlines.

Airlines grow; if they're doing it on their own brand I don't see the problem.

 

[Murdoughnut]

That would be awesome! I'd even be willing to fly it for free! Awesome!

:yeahthat:Sounds like we have another major pilot who thinks he can complain the problem away...

Too many small penises and big egos in this industry

What about the female major pilots who may feel the same way?

Is that a case of small boob syndrome then?

I not trying to be rude or smart, but I'm beginning to question the validity of your claim to be a UPS pilot based on your posts. Maybe we can get Don to verify you are who you say you are.

Females? They're allowed to fly now?

If so, we'll just hand them strap-ons.

Swing and a miss. cencal is a Pinnacle FO.... wanna try again?


That being said, I have zero issues with shutting DAL down instead of giving up scope.

I think he was referring to the OP, not to Cencal. Was agreeing with Cencal, if I read it right.

Yeah I just figured that out haha. I suppose the swing and a miss was on my part.

SWA pilots just approved a contract - no outsourcing SWA flying, no regional size jets.

aside--

Jimmy Kimmel: "Girls can grow up and be pilots too".
Adam Carolla: "They have lady pilots, they're not that good, but they have them."


Surely, I jest.

end aside

Not quite.... it allows any international flying to be outsourced. whoops!

I was thinking the exact same thing...
