Maybe I've missed others, but this is the first time I've seen an industry news article posted as the "headline" article for us to read. Seems a little mafia-like, if you ask me.

If you're voting NO, what would need to be changed in the TA for you to vote yes? I have a suspicion that management would have loved current book from the very start of negotiations, and they're thrilled they have us considering this massive giveaway.
I'm sure management reads these boards...
If you're voting YES, would you mind please explaining your rationale? Because I'm not seeing it. (This is directed at XJT guys, but also applies at several other regionals...)
Let's look at the facts. They are threatening to wind down the company if we vote no. But they are not guaranteeing...
Just wondering if anyone has been to one yet, with any reports. How are they trying to sell this thing? Do they claim some kind of inside info that we're getting wound down if/when we say no?
Since we're actually discussing the possibility of a new XJT TA coming soon, I thought it would be a good time to get ahead of the MEC propaganda and discuss what things you need to see, to vote yes, and what things you'd better not see, or you'll vote no.
I know many claim they'll vote no...
Okay, I'm just venting, but have you guys noticed a correlation between guys who, at some point on a trip, say "you know, this job is just not that hard," and then they prove to JUST SUCK as a pilot (especially the standardized part)? They can't accept suggestions (to avoid a major undesired...
I've heard this rumor from three different people now, that Skywest Inc has recently secured a multi-billion-dollar loan for new aircraft financing. I couldn't find anything public, other than this somewhat old news article...
Assuming the name is really on hold, how about some serious alternatives? I'm sure most would prefer just about anything, but what do you think it really ought to be?
I believe Michael Roberts made a good statement, but I don't think it had the impact it could have had, because he was only commuting to work. Here is what I am going to do: If I am singled out for 4th Amendment violation by the government on a trip that I will be OPERATING, I will refuse. Since...
For those of you who have been looking at contrails your entire life, what do you think?

Recently overheard someone high up at ASA being asked whether we would use Acey or Jetlink. His response was that the ideal solution might be to have a brand new callsign altogether.
With that in mind, and that we're all a bunch of bored pilots with nothing better to do, what would be some...

(AP) – 17 hours ago
LOS ANGELES — A Southern California man who aimed a laser beam at two airliners as they approached an airport has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for disrupting the flights.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los...
I know it's a "mute" point, but...
Official mins changed from 500/50 with 50 in previous 6 months, to 1500/50 with 300 in previous 6 months.
So no love for anyone without a serious current flying job. Not that any of this will be relevant by the time hiring starts again, so I'm not sure why...
Ever wonder what things would be like if the current people trying to "redesign our country" were put in charge of redesigning airplanes? Here's how it might go:
Socialist: "It's not fair that Boeings get to hold more fuel than Bombardiers. Effective immediately, all Boeings will be limited to...
It's bad enough our nonreving fees keep going up while our priority keeps going down, now they want us to pay to park when we non-rev! The latest company memo states that, due to space limitations, we are only permitted in the new lot S for work purposes only, and we may not park there for...
