This isn't a whipsaw in the traditional sense: Flying is being shifted to a higher paid pilot group. As pilots, the only control we have over the situation is the contract that we agree to work under. ExpressJet/ASA's current contract appears to better than Eagle's, so as pilots, we did not contribute to "stealing" the flying. If we took paycuts or something I could understand the anger, but as it is, anger directed at ExpressJet/Skywest crews is misplaced.
