Believe me when I tell, these kids would take any salary to fly a jet. I'm actually quoting them.Unfortunately, few of them meet the hiring minimumns.
Makes me sad when they say "I'll do anything to fly that CRJ" that is taking-off, but I was there once long time ago, so I keep my mouth shut.
Yeah we were all like that many years ago. I would be nice if the younger generation would listen but they probably won't.....
For those of you 9E guys that weren't around 7+ years ago. Or will still working on your PPL back then... This tactic is
THE EXACT SAME as what Comair went through.. I'm not kidding..
THE EXACT SAME RHETORIC..
Unfortunately too many voted for first pay freezes, and then pay cuts.... I rememebr FO's wanting to vote for it because they put an E170 on the CVG ramp. And also they figured they'd get a chance to upgrade with the freeze and cuts because of what Delta "promised"...
9E is doomed. The wheels were put in motion long ago.... Does anyone really thing taking a $2 pay cut, loosing deadhead pay or whatever else 9E has planned, will decide the fate of Delta's regional fleet plans? It's all a way to keep pay supressed..
Liek someone said. Furloughed pilots usually end up at the carrier who underbid them. So now they're flying the same routes & airplanes at a lower pay... And eventually it'll be that carrier undercut by another..
Has anyone noticed the old Gulfstream airlines is a player for delta now? Just wait.. They to soon will have jets....
