so in the name of Unity and Brotherhood and not dragging the industry down how many of you are willing to get us hired on at your airline with our current longevity/seniority? crickets.....
I've been a proponent of bringing guys in with longevity and seniority if they bring planes with them. In other words, if my airline gets your airplanes, pilots should come with them. This would mitigate whipsaw.

Year 4 TA pay is about $37 I believe. Well, year one everywhere is $20, and reserve. So, get shafted with pay and schedule, or lose pay rate and make up for it by bidding 18 days off and picking up red flag trips?? Hm.. Not so easy is it?
1.) every airline that has a union deserved them.
2.) you're company will not shut down overnight. It would wind down over a course of 1yr+. Either way 65% will need to look for a job regardless.
3.) year 2 here at OO is 38. And tops at 48. I know you can do math so which one has the greater earning potential?
Food for thought, the majors won't be hiring like gangbusters as much as everyone believes.
SWA deserved their unions? What is the point you are trying to make here?
The end of SKYW Inc's current CPAs are in 2017, which ironically is the same time the aircraft leases end(on the SKYW financed planes) and the same time the MRJs come online. I'm all for speculation but 4 years from now is a stretch and most of us will have moved on. In the near term, there is not much Delta can do to Inc outside of a rate reset
There is no rate reset but DAL will want better rates from SKW in order to renew this CPA.
