Now you b i t c h about how childish it is to boot some one from the jumpseat so they dont get to see their families as soon? Well, go talk to the guys that are on the street because of you. Despicable? YUP! Thats YOU!
That's just competition in a capitalist environment. Same thing was true with Pinnacle's previous CEO who underbid the ATL CRJ-900 contract and the Colgan Q400 contract just to get 'in' with Delta and Continental. You can argue that Pinnacle swiped from other carriers for a loss contract, and that both Comair and ASA had pilot furloughs in that timeframe.
All that aside, yes it is childish to boot someone from the jumpseat for these regional outsourcing pi$$ing matches.
For the last time, outsourcing is not the same as ALTER-EGO companies! Hence you'll get the boot every time!
