Not kidding and no sarcasm, just stating that the lack of any cancellation pay may have more of a negative impact on pilots once the sequester hits. No politics, no dog in this fight, just an observation considering so many comments about the company not offering cancellation pay.
The likelihood of this making cancellation pay a bigger issue is pretty small since I think the true impact will be a non-issue.

the only thing I regret is the poor union at eagle. the failed leadership has created a pilot group that has no motivation for change or action.
However one thing we cant control is being undercut. Its even worst from a group that hides behind well they wont give us a new contract. At least the gojetz guys admit they are working a street corner.
We have the same lack of motivation at Eagle, but ours can at least be blamed on failed union leadership. We also have a fairly good contract, even after CH11, we dont just sit around pouting about it, yet reaping the benefits of it with new flying. Your either a saint or a sinner, you cant be both.
Also I never even applied to RAH, my friend worked there and told me not to apply. I went to Eagle for a long list of reasons, and I am happy I did.

Fair enough, thanks for your clarification. But frankly, I believe the sequester being a source of cancellation due to controllers being reduced is about number 3,789 on a list of 4,000 things that could possibly lead to cancellation of a flight and thus lack of pay.
The likelihood of this making cancellation pay a bigger issue is pretty small since I think the true impact will be a non-issue.

This is politics at it's worst - making a statement and (maximizing?) impact on travelling public and industry employees instead of trying to minimize it. So again, I stand corrected if what is now being said by the FAA actually materializes.

Yeah, real interesting. So the company cancels 50 flights due to weather and don't pay the flight crews, nor does their new proposal have cx pay included. Guess what, the company is still getting paid by mainline partners for all wx cancellations. Seem right to you?
That's just one of many. I'll let someone else take the next one.

I like the Q&A about Q400 pay. It says that nobody else who does CPA in the continent operates Q400s, then it mentioned that Horizon is different because they are owned by Alaska. Then it mentioned that the only person they could compare was the rates that Colgan but they went bankrupt. SO they can't compare the rates to Horizon??? RIght!!!
