A few things here...
1) Instead of making it REALLY messy, the CJC Pilots could have stayed nonunion and the growth would have been funneled our way anyway and y'all would have been whipsawed against us making it really really really ugly. But we stood up for what was wrong; many of us were threatened by management goons for organizing, and worked to raise the bar.
2) We were in our own contract talks and were going to make gains regardless. Yes we did benefit from the Mesaba contract, as the PCL Pilots, but we also brought something to the table as did the PCL Pilots and the MSA Pilots.
3) From my understanding, those that were displaced out of the CRJ-200 Captain seat COULD have remained a Captain at the company if their pref bids had Q400 Captain in EWR. But a lot of those who were displaced didn't have that on their bid. Once again, not the CJC Pilots problem. If that wasn't communicated to the PCL Pilots to bid everything 'just in case', not the CJC Pilots problem.
4) The CJC Pilots didn't elect the PCL or MSA Merger Committees, your respective MECs did. If you feel like you have been screwed by the Bloch awards, bring it up to your respective merger committee.
5) I look forward to working with y'all in the future, delivering a superior product for our code share partners, and beating the **** out of our competition for these RFPs so we have more growth for the PCL Corp.
