And if they don't get it with the WOs then they'll go to Mesa for some real whipsaw action. PSA has voted down growth planes in the past and most likely will be doing it again.

The most mind boggling aspect of this is the guaranteed/forced interview written into the TA. For years PSA pilots have had a harder time getting on at Airways than pilots from other regionals because we are wholly owned. All it took was PSA's president calling airways and letting them know we have staffing problems so Airways HR takes no PSA pilots for a while. Airways HR has revealed this before saying they're under those orders. Now new PSA Captains have to wait to interview in seniority if this TA passes and risk getting their pay frozen back at PSA if they don't make it.

With typical attrition PSA pilots have had problems getting on at Airways due to staffing issue here. Now that's all going to majically change with this TA? Airways suddenly won't care about it's WO's staffing problems that will perpeptuate further as PSA caps FO pay at 4 yrs for pilots that already have ATP/1500 hrs, word gets out the PSA pilots are being denied jumpseats, and attrition of pilots to any "career" airline blow through the roof? Of couse Airways cares and that's why they included all the conditional language so they can do whatever they want regarding this carront on stick flow thing.

Also, I am confident that if this does pass, Airways/AA will still be going to Mesa and back to Eagle with the join the club or else speil.
