I agree with UCLAbruins, most any Flight Instructor who has been grinding out hours for a couple of years will still jump at the chance to get in an E 170, no matter how many warnings they get. However, if even one changes his mind and goes elsewhere, this new webpage was worth the author's effort. BTW - I hear the management at RAH has seen the site and is furious!

While I personally believe the Flying Circus Ringmasters will cave within the last minute before a strike, the website brings to light an incredible challenge all of the RAH new hires may face. I don't think they have Union Representation during their first year over there, during their probation period. If so, they will be threatened with termination or -- they can be a true "scab" if the strike happens. (However, I am not certain were they would get a Captain). Either way, their resume is darkened, perhaps for life. This would be the point that would send me in another direction or I would just sit it out until a new contract is achieved.

All things considered, I do believe the countdown to a strike or a new contract has begun. Good luck to all pilots involved. Our collective future will be influenced by your actions and they will be remembered for years to come.
