Back on topic- Capt. Moak's strategy.
He sent an email to the Eagle Pilots several months back basically stating that Legacy pilots had taken pay cuts ten years ago while regional pilots generally hadn't, and that AMR's asking for cuts now isn't necessarily out of line. Spread the love, you know...
I guess he hasn't been reading USAToday et al re: IMPENDING PILOT SHORTAGE!
He needs to start spreading the message that low airfares and Airline Mgt. have now made this occupation (not career) so undesirable that no one wants in, and the only way to stop it is better pay and work rules.
