Lets see... airline choices back then - Mesaba and GoJet. Gee..... tough choices there. With Mesaba 1st year FO pay, I still would have been eligible for unemployment to make up the difference between UI and my salary... courtesy of ALPA.

So what will you do for those who lose their jobs through no fault of their own? What are you gonna do for furloughees? Are you gonna take assessments to keep everyone from going to the ME in the spirit of brotherhood? How about place us into similar positions without interviews and without having to start over at below poverty wages?

Wake up! Those going abroad arent your enemy. Stop allowing 75-90 seat jets flown for wages that pay less than unemployment. Stop outsourcing your own flying! If you need to point a finger, point it at pilots going to Mesa, Republic, TransStates, GoJet, Compass, Skywest, Eagle, etc. But more importantly, point the finger at yourself for allowing those subcontractors to have grown like weeds at the expense of well-paying pilot jobs.

I swear, the ignorance and sheer stupidity found among US airline pilots is astounding.
