Behind Texas A&M. I've seen them both in person and A&M rocks every school out there.

On a side note; it's sad that if Mgmnt & SAPA came to our pilot group and said that if we voted yes for Q pay at EMB rates plus 5% we'd get 40 new airframes; they'd get a 65% approval vote. Most would say let's get them on property and then we'll get paid and the others just care about the movement (Upgrades, transitions, etc).
It will be a dark day if we start operating Q's for those rates.

But I'm with you...a fair wage or nothing at all.

NO, I'm not flaming you, but that sounds pretty familiar to what happened back in the 2003-2004 time frame. Not sure if you where there for it or not. But that didn't exactly do good things for the other UAX carriers at the time.

Just a slight thread-drift on my end as well...that is the reasoning GoJet Pilots use to sleep at night; that Trans States should have done anything to get the planes on property first, and that ALPA mislead them all the way...
