How about what the west has lost out on? I had a 10 year west guy on my jumpseat a while back. He is still on reserve, pulling down about $89 an hour. That is awful, compare him to a SWA guy hired at the same time instead of LOA93. That's the issue I have with you guys.
Well that explains a great deal about the person now doesn't it? I see that you agree that your brothers and sisters over there paid for your move over with the remainder of their careers.
Yes it is a mess that we have 10yr guys on res that brought jobs to this abortion with usair while folks like yourself played invasion of the body snatcher taking seats and positions that you were not entitled to! Pilots that were on furlough are now working while pilots that were working are now furloughed all because of the east and usapa. The really sad thing is that bridge will never be mended as a result. That 10yr res west pilot however makes more than the east pilot that put him/her in that position and even more than those that took 190 capt slots.
Not to worry however as I tell every west first officer that the east is just sitting your reserve for you in that seat. This will all be over in 2014 and the wrongs will be made right.
