Just because you have been abused by the industry longer than I have doesn't mean that you are smarter and well read making it so that I have no right to an opinion. If you want to personally insult me like a 12 year old, be my guest. I now discount everything you say as emotional garbage.
Now, from what a read on the website, there is no B-scale. The scale remains intact until the first large RJ arrives on property and only then a cap is put in place. I'm not trying to defend it. I personally wouldn't have voted yes as I know regional pilots get paid less than they should but I can understand why they did. A little job security goes a long way in this business and it appears they feel they got some with the agreement.
I'm just trying to get hard facts and less emotional me, me, me hate that has been spewed. It seems from the intent of the CBA that PSA is trying to prevent an Eagle situation by forcing people out of a career RJ position and into the mainline. If you choose not to go, your pay is frozen.
You know there are thousands of men and women who are independent since they were 17 and 18 in our US military. Oh wait, but they are putting their lives on the line for this country. So what's your point and/or contribution? If I had to pick the smarter of the 2, you don't win. Like another poster stated, we are one 911 away from another airline stone age. The intent of the CBA is trying to force people out of career RJ position and into the mainline, that's so ridiculous. They could care less if you leave the top of their seniority list and go haul garbage as long as they can replace you with a zombie for cheap.
