Its the least that could be done after scoping us out of q400's. Meanwhile, you've relaxed scope to the point where Republic is now a major airline . . . I say go ahead and eat your young if you want; just don't keep giving birth to more abominations along the way.
Sorry about the tangent folks, but I think USAPA needs to realize what a slap in the face this is to the small, hard-working pilot group at Piedmont. We do more with less day in and day out, and can't even get our big brothers to acknowledge we exist. Very frustrating.
You're looking for love in all the wrong places.
Who cares if you get acknowledged by mainline pilots. You're outsourced labor flying their passengers. The best thing for mainline pilots would be for all of you to be out of a job. Even if they did acknowledge you, that doesn't put money in the bank, food on the table, or make your schedules easier.
You need acknowledgement from your management and US Airways management.
