But noooo, we at Colgan are not happy with that because we dont get the upper hand.
Date of hire; screw ratios, quotas, and other BS. Shoot DOH across the board and thats what you get. Period
Water under the bridge anyways. Just dont expect any sympathy from 9E or XJ as many of them struggle now with downgrades, even though they have actually been paying dues way before some of those colgan guys that remain in their CA seat.
Doesnt really matter how many times you guys try to turn it around or try to justify yourselves, junior guys displacing senior guys of their CA seat is messed up in my book...
I agree, that block sob really screwed this one up. Threw the whole process we were told more than once that no one pilot group would receive a windfall. Now we know that was a lie. I'm not ****ed off at the Colgan pilot group. I still don't understand why the 3 groups couldn't work it out by themselves. I feel this place is heading down the same road as Comair. I was hired at Mesaba 8 1/2 years ago and after holding left seat for 6 years I'm about to be downgraded. And now I'm told that I won't even qualify for the SSP interview because you have to be a current captain, even though I'd swear that our joke of a union said that we just had to have held captain at some point. What a joke of an industry. I don't know if it's true or not about Skywest wanting to by mesaba, but I sure wish anyone but Pinnacle would've bought us instead. I know it's all water under the bridge now. So I'm trying to get the hell out. I may even get out of this career all together.
