You little punk who do you think you are speaking to us like that?
If you've got the nuts to say that on an anonymous forum then have the backbone to put your real name next to it. That way you don't ever have to ask for a jumpseat ever again because you'll know you won't get one.
Takes a real man to kick a pilot group while they are down.
So come on! Post your real name and certificate number...

Truth is, would it really be a positive thing for the industry to have 2,500 furloughed pilots on the street looking for and taking jobs at first year FO pay at another regional? Talk about a major shift backwards in longevity and a massive windfall for mainline management. Time to re-evaluate what would have really been "good" for the industry. I was willing to call Delta's bluff, but many weren't in a place to take that chance on rolling the dice with their careers.

Ill freely admit I'm an "airplane nerd" only reason I'm in this career. I just think at this point every major is bluffing with its regionals. There's not enough of us out there right now for them to quickly hand over 50-100 airplanes of flying to someone else. You can't buy into every fear grenade that mainline lobs at you. Y'all can mock all you want I really don't care what people call me on a stupid Internet forum.

Nowhere, it's gonna be status quo, just like ASA/XJT's next contract, just like every other regional contract. We shot ourselves in the foot when we all signed on to get paid $23 bucks an hour flying 76 passengers around. Why do you care anyway, when it's time for your next contract, just vote no, tell your coworkers to vote no. Vote no and tell management to shove it. Tell them you won't work for Pinnacle rates. I guarantee 70 percent won't have the sack to do it.

How long have you known them?
It is smart to fear any pilot from Minnesota. If they have a mustache & long hair, probably best to give them an extra four feet of "personal space." If they have a mustache and no hair, or spiky hair and blonde tips, then it is best to turn and try to leave the area without calling attention to yourself.
Even the Delta MEC is afraid of them.

Your exactly right. I voted no on our contract but 70 something percent did. The cycles got to stop somewhere. I will still be shocked if RAH can even staff their AA flying. We as an entire regional group need to call mainlines bluff. They know deep down that we have all the leverage but until someone stands up to them they'll continue pushing the race to the bottom.
