pagey, these guys at psa are one in the same with mainline management, they are employed by U.S.. it all depends how fast you capitulate to them. parker can not go anywhere except to an airline they physically own and control to squeeze for concessions, first everyone should understand that simple fact. second fact, you capitulated and mesa got more crj900's without concessions.

its a poker game, alpa sucks, alpa sold you out, you mec sucked as former eagle mec did and you need stamina.

Cactusmike is right about numbers, they have promised mainline pilots a large number of cash and they want to get it from someone else to pay, i.e.; YOU at regional level.

If it is cheaper at regionals the jobs aint going to be at mainline, if it was not for retirements, mainlines would not be hiring now as in past and would not for another 8 years, but they too via attrition will shrink and the flying will go to large rj's because you a cheaper than just cheap now.

just an opinion based on history and facts.
