Its not just a 9e thing or a skywest thing. We just got back 17 planes and are struggling to keep them staffed, so its not like we can take on anymore. and its not about quick upgrades, like i said in a previous post we have about 1300 on the seniority list, and 880 or so was just awarded a captain upgrade. what i am saying is as long as there are people who are willing to sell the career short so they can MAYBE get something in return is just crazy. Thats why we have been fighting for a contract for almost 2 years. First it was nwa wont talk till we have a deal,, we said no deal. then it was we are losing flying for other airlines because we dont have a deal,, we said no deal. Then it was nwa has signed a contract with us good till 2017 but they can take planes if we dont have a deal by march, we said no deal. Standing up and Taking one fore the team, is a lot better than bending over and taking one for the team
