Step one is the recognition and acceptance that ALPA does not represent regional airline pilots interests. At the regional level, ALPA is simply the enforcement arm of the companies wishes. We cannot proceed to step two without first dealing with this.

No you don't. You don't deserve anything. You are in no way special, even though your mom told you otherwise. And how dare you decide you are worth more than someone else simply because you fly an airplane? Where does it end? Do you deserve more than the guy collecting your garbage? If so, by whose judgment?
And yes, I am the cause of the problem. So are you, and every other pilot who ever enters this industry. Our arms have always been tied by the RLA and nothing will change unless we quit. Self interest prevails.

It's an interesting study in human psychology. There was a company in Silicon Valley that decided to pay all employees a $70K minimum wage no matter what they did, no more, no less. The company fell apart in short order, simply because humans can not work with equality. If they don't know someone is below them, or they can't advance, they can not fulfill their self actualization needs.

Now if we go by your rules, than you deserve minimum wage. You aren't worth anything other than minimum wage as evidenced by your acceptance of paultry wages. That's what you deserve per your philosophy.
You are the cause of the entire problem.

1. You work for PSA. Enough said. Clearly you have accepted working for a bottom feeding company with paltry wages.
2. This isn't soviet Russia. We don't all deserve the same pay, regardless of occupation. Yes I deserve more then that garbage collector. A lot more. And I have no problem fighting hard for what I deserve, rather then rolling over at the first sign of distress (again, PSA.)

We are all paid exactly what we are worth by the very fact we show up to work and accept the compensation offered. Not worth a penny more. If you were to all quit today, doubt you would land a job that pays more right off the bat, unless you are a FO at Mesa.

You really need to stop bashing PSA! Being a ENVOY pilot it makes you look STUPID!!! Are you really that stupid??? You voted in the same garbage as PSA and Piedmont. Too funny!

Yawwwnnnn. You'll never get it, nor do I expect you to. Do me a favor. When you get to AA, try convincing the 30 other envoy pilots in your class that PSA didn't do anything wrong and report back how well that goes. I'm serious, I would love to hear how that convo goes.
