Hind sight is always 20/20. The TSA pilots SHOULD have voted yes (to at LEAST get the a/c on property to be flown by TSA pilots) FIRST then worked on the pay issue later. But, now they just blame everyone but themselves for the whole debacle.
this ALWAYS makes me laugh. well not really... EVERY single person on here whines and complains and b!tches and moans about how regional pilots agree to fly for such low wages, nobody will stand up for themselves, we dont get paid enough, blah blah blah. but as soon as someone gets hosed because they DID stand up for themselves it was pure arrogance!! are you *******KING kidding me?! more justification bullsh!t!
we all know if they had accepted what was dealt to at least secure the flying everyone would instead be complaining about how another airline lowered the bar once again. how bout instead of claiming the pilots were arrogant, we instead say they were naive for expecting unity from the rest of the "brotherhood" in their fight. absolutely sickening...
