I've been refuting it for the last 20 posts! We are operating under the rules management writes for us in the operating manual. Management makes the deals with mainline part era and manage the operation. The pilots operate the same now as they would if we were losing money. In other words, profits or not, it's irrelevant in this discussion. I'm talking about what you 3000 pilots do regardless of profits! What do you contribute? Nothing more than an anchor on our negotiations at this point.
Will anyone ever answer my questions? Or will you guys keep throwing out the same straw man argument about profits?

You have no idea what youre talking about.
And for the sake of argument, lets assume its true. That doesn't change any fact regarding express jet is loosing money. They are like people I know who are thousands in debt but continue to buy expensive cloths and electronics. Totally irresponsible. Your foundation is crumbling and you're arguing with the contractor who trying to fix it because he walked on your lawn.
Yeah but the thing is that it's not the pilots with the credit card. That's management. Which is precisely why it's irrelevant to the conversation at hand. If Skywest had bad management and the same pilots they do now, they would lose money. You see my point yet?
