Eagle vote 70% NO with 92% participation

Regionals are screwed, IMO. They will shrink us into oblivion. We will not exist in the same fashion we are in now in 10 years. The "f" word is coming, and it'll be here quicker than you think.
Edit to add: Just read my post and it sounds like I am dogging the Eagle guys over the no vote. I'm not. I'm proud of them. Just stating what I think will happen in the future.

Just keep in mind, shrinking regionals means flying has to go somewhere... it's a painful but good thing.

I saw some "hypothetical" DAL b717 3 and 4 days posted on the other site. Man they are doing more/shorter legs than I used to do in the Saab!

Yeah that's why I used "quotes". I don't want to start drama of "omgz somebody is posting all their real schedules on the interwebzzz."

Not necessarily - more likely that carriers just stop serving outlying markets - not worth the hassle.
That's good too.

Eagle can't really furlough, it would trigger the 65% language in the flow. Plus we can't staff the flying we have now.

Yup, and getting a whole 12 a month on good months.
Have they always honored the contract? Seems like they could find a way to circumvent it.
That's what I'm praying for.

Check out the ATL airbus bid packs! I did 4 legs yesterday, and have a couple more trips with 4 leg days coming up, plus a 5 leg day.
Most trips I never go west of the mississippi!

You know, folks, when you replace 50 seaters with 150 seaters, and there is no capacity increase, the number of jobs just shrunk by two thirds. Sure, the jobs that are left are better jobs, but a lot of people are left out in the cold.
Not saying that it's not a good thing. Just pointing out that everything won't be roses like some people think.
