personally i dont see this happen. parker is just going after owned carriers. he owns there management outright.
Go after what pilots? Mesa pilots? Concessions!? hahaha! Good luck! We already work under a de facto concessionary contract. There was a reason we didn't take concessions in bankruptcy - there ain't nothin' left to give.
Our cost structure is among the lowest already - hence the continued, sometimes called for, litany of vitriol railed against us on these boards.
I support Eagle's right to work for a wage commensurate with the level of professional responsibility they carry. I wish I worked for a livable wage. We're in section 6 now. I don't expect a game changing contract, but I'm hoping for a measly trip/duty rig for crying out loud!
