I haven't met a single pilot, FO or Capt, that is not utterly dumbfounded by our MECs spineless representation (ORD/MIA) Quite frankly most are pi $$ ed off that we are even considering this given the fact we can hardly hire any pilots, flights are being canceled for crew nonavailability etc. ALPA has failed miserably in the regional Airlines as far as creating a place where you can at a minimum earn a living wage. There are still several ways this could still fail or be dismissed. So we are a long long way away from a done deal. Based on the many discussions I've had, I don't see how this will pass, but it seems that some have "battered spouse syndrome" I.e. Your only truly loved when the company is beating you up. We literally hhave no knowledge of what it's like to try and negotiate from a position of leverage and strength.
