Ford/Cooksey, et al vs ALPA

[NC_BE300]

I already tossed my letter (like I said, I hate mail from attorneys) but I think Ford was Comair. Note that they have 900s and we still don't(end of year rumors not withstanding).

Yes there are CRJ-900's.

But they still are seat restricted because of the scope clause.

There are alot of DL Connection operaters now with these planes, we were not the first....and probably will not be the last.

Good, they need to stay restricted to their scope clause currently represented.

I have no ambition to fly 76+ seats for any mainline operator.

Very true! Will be interesting to see how the industry shakes out.

Wanted to take a second and clarify the bolded portion.

If I'm flying a 76+ seat aircraft for a mainline operator, I want to be on that mainline seniority list.

I knew what you meant.

 

[surreal1221]

Very well. . .but I know there appear to be a few in our proud profession that would have no issues with flying 737 or even 757 sized aircraft for RJ-900 rates. Or, on a sub-contract basis.

Do not get me going on RJ operators. Please, not today.

Remember Air Canada is flying E-170s/-175s on a mainline payscale.

Not here though. A first year Air Canada FO on those planes is making more than double what a first year brickyard/mercury FO is making.
