Sorry, not going to let it go. And neither is anyone else over here. Not when our career earnings were compromised by selfish and greedy pilots such as those that make up PSA.
Yes yes, and you all hate Mesa pilots, and pretty much every other regional pilot that is not Envoy... Really, it is silly for you to blame others for your own decisions and bad luck timing the market.

Greedy Pilots???? Who PSA or ENVOY????

About 7 years ago PSA was offered the CRJ 900's but Parker wanted them to fly them at there blended rate. PSA pilots stood up and said HELL NO!!!! Parker turned around and gave the 900's to Mesa. Next time Parker came with back with the 900's and the threat of more going to Mesa so PSA took them.

Envoy was offered the 175 at a lower rate then they wanted and they said HELL NO!!! Parker says fine and sent the 175's to Compass and the threat of more going to Compass. Next time Envoy was offered there deal they took it.

So where's the difference???????? Shouldn't PSA be mad at Mesa??? Shouldn't Envoy be mad at Compass???

One day you might be slinging the gear for a PSA pilot at American then what?? You going to puff your chest up at him then???

You might not like PSA, but one thing I've learned in this business is to not burn bridges. Get over yourself cause ENVOY is not better then PSA or Piedmont.

Ok buddy, easy on the use of question marks, you sound like you're going to blow a gasket.

That being said, use that rationale when you have this same convo in indoc. Seriously. You fail to mention that while we did say no to 175's at lower rates, we also said no to 900's at b-scale rates, rates that PSA was all too happy to accept. Did I also mention that PSA's MEC asked AAG for our pilots along with our planes? Oh and one HUGE thing I also forgot, the reason why we eventually had to say yes was because any leverage that was had in the regional industry was destroyed by PSA "lowering the bar."

Again, have this same exact conversation in indoc and report back. I'm sorry if you're upset that envoy pilots don't like PSA pilots but that is reality. You think I'm harsh on here? You should hear my coworkers on the line. Again. Agree with me or not but that is the reality we're in. It's a damn shame I'll ever have to share a cockpit with a PSA pilot but I've accepted that it is a likely reality.

I feel bad for anyone that has to share a cockpit with you period. Ever. No matter where they come from or what they flew. You're an extremely bitter person who only points fingers at everyone else. An astronaut couldn't do any right by you because he came from the AirForce and not Envoy. It's pathetic.

Ouch you really hurt my feelings! Haha. I just hope any potential PSA pilots know what mess they're getting themselves into.

LOL, dude I'm far from blowing a gasket! It just fun calling you out on the bs you're throwing at PSA. Did you know ENVOY was trying to steal all of Piedmont flow slots? hahahahahahahah Get real.
Believe me when I go to American in a few months the last I'll be discussing is Piedmont, PSA and Envoy. If I'm in class and someone starts to talk about it I'll just shake my head and know the dude/gal is a total loser.
I could care less if you hate PSA. But I won't let you come on here and act like you and EVNOY are any better cause you aren't. Hate away!!

Envoy folks are no different than any other regional pilot out there, plain and simple. If you are looking for an apology from a PDT, PSA, or any other pilot you are never going to get it. I could care less what anyone thinks or gossips about. Get over it, so we have something else to talk about when we are sharing a cockpit. That is what a professional would do...but hey if you want to keep swinging your d's around, expect to be treated like d's. Now back to why we should be making 100k as FO's....ohhh riiight we are professionals...aha!

Yep! This clown thinks we're going to go to indoc at mainline and talk about this??? hahahahahahahahahah I'll be talking about what equipment I can fly with the most days off and the easiest commute. I could give a rats a$$ about PSA or ENVOY, MESA, COMMUTAIR, SKYWEST, REPUBLIC.. etc etc etc.

You're absolutely correct, anyone who is going to care about regional politics from the past when they make it to mainline are not psychologically fit to be in that seat.

Qualifications being equal, I'd like to think any pilots in charge of mainline hiring would choose guys who've more positively impacted the industry than not. I'm not saying blacklist employees of recently unpopular airlines, but it would be preferable to hire someone who went on strike at Comair over the Freedom A-listers and the initial cadre at GoJet.

It's a small industry...
