Out of EVERY REGIONAL...9E is the only one to receive a shutdown threat. 9E's business plan has nothing to do with other regionals. If you let your management feed you that garage, then you need to do a self evaluation. PSA, AE, whoever else are not in the same financial situation 9E was. PT and his cronies jacked this airline up and now they have a lot of work to salvage it. That's just the plain truth. No other regional has gone through so many bad business decisions like 9E in the past 10 years. This is public knowledge. So there is no reason to vote on a concessionary contract. Your MEC should be smart about that.
So SKW, congrats on your upcoming contract. I'm sure you wanted more, but we all do. And any other regional that happens to read this, don't vote in a concessionary contract because your airlines aren't in financial trouble.
