We are in this position because of ALPA National's failures. They could've embraced the regionals, especially the vulnerable ones like Piedmont that had no future fleet plan, offered career support finding other positions. Coordinate merger agreements between wholly owned carriers. Mounted a Stop the Whipsaw type campaign. But instead they just sat back and let this 12/4 regional internship stuff become a trend.
no, touting isn't right, PUSHING it is more like it

Nope, I can just see that as a likely possibility. AAG is looking for more scare tactics to try and bring Envoy crawling back to the table. What better way to do that then to start transferring equipment off property. I'm telling you, it's coming. Either way I doubt Envoy will furlough because of it.

In solidarity with my NO vote, promise to quit at Eagle when I lose my job along with all of the other pilots, flight attendants and mechanics at Piedmont. That's essentially what you're asking Piedmont pilots to do by telling them to vote no.
Not trying to devalue the Eagle no vote but we are definitely in a different position than any other regional given this type of offer.

I agree. He and everyone at Piedmont should stand up for their career and do what is best for them whether is a yes or a no vote. They should do what they feel is best, not what Eagle (or anyone else) wants them to do.

I fail to see how PDT's position is any different than Eagle being told they would be "comaired" and XJT losing over 100 airplanes by the end of 2015.

Why don't we all just be a little more respectful and the the Piedmont drivers decide their own fate. Speaking from someone who has had to endure this process, I think a little less bulling and BS is in order.
As to the Piedmont drives. Do not vote for anyone else. Take a good time to decide what you can live with. There will be no complete winners and there will be no complete losers. It sucks, we are Reginals drives and when the toilet gets flush at the mainline level, you know it always ends up in our lap. Look for fellow driver in the eye when you decide. Truth is at the end of the day its your own conscious you have to answer to. I wish you all the best in your decision.
