Did it ever occur to you that the pilot group at Expressjet is slightly ****ed off that they have had a leading industry contract for quit some time, and has provided quality feed for one of the most successful legacy airlines in the past decade and we continually get sh*t on? What you call arrogance is pride, its being proud of having a strong contract, worth fighting for, yet we have no leg to stand on in the future because other regional pilot groups simply don't care enough to raise the bar. Sure Republic will fly 170's for low pay, (forcing Midwest guys on the street) it means a quick upgrade and growth, Colgan and Skywest fly large equipment for low pay as well, but hey no big deal, like DMEarc you put your few years in and your on your way to a big bad major like big bad CAL, although if you look at it closely its almost humorous hes getting furloughed, but I bet If CAL was using 737's instead of Q's for the high pax load, short haul flights he might be needed to go to work, not waiting in line for his unemployment check.
You can bash the failure of our branded all you want, I would rather have tried and failed then simply not tried at all.
Its ok though, what goes around comes around just a matter of time, first it was Comair, Air Willy, now us, CHQ or SkyWest in a few years...........cyclical.
What I also find amusing are the folks who relish in the fact that we are furloughing, discussing concessions...where do you guys think that leaves you come contract time?
