If an out of senority furlough was the hypothetical result of parking the props then, no, I wouldn't be fighting against it. I don't think it'll happen that way. I think they'll be cut from the bottom.
I have NEVER once implied that I am superior in any form or fashion ever because of the type of airplane I fly. That's all you guys saying that, not my game. I would have been more than happy to upgrade into the Saab or the Q, but that isn't an option at this point. The airplane means nothing to me. If I wanted a big shiny jet I'd be on the 900.
You're only proving my point for me. Its stupid comments like "your upgrades belong to us" that are uncalled for. Fact is, your airplanes were purchased by a company that was making money because of its employees. There is no way around that fact. I've never said it was your fault and I do blame management, but I don't need the lottery winners to come tell me to get over something or move on. There is and never will be unity and there is nothing you or I can do about it. There aren't nearly as many people going there as are coming here so they won't hold weight. I counted 80ish captains moving tickets compared to a fraction of that the other way. And your upgrades were obviously protected since there are 2010 hires in the left seat. It sucks, it happened, and I'm not happy about it, but quit the Dr. Phil speech and understand it is what it is and will be what it will be. Nothing you say or do will heal the burn.
There is frustration and anger, not fear in my post. I'm directing my post at all the Colgan pilots that want to keep telling us to get over it and move on. You'd be singing another tune if went the other way. That's annoying and naggy.
