And yes we've been threatened too. We've been told over and over from mgt and alpa exactly when the leases on our aircraft are up. CRJ and ERJ. We were also told that they would bid on no more rfp's if the TA was voted down.
It just goes towards my point that everyone is all harda$$ when its another company but when it affects "you" then its a different story.
Yes, XJT voted no, and that is commendable to say the least. My opinion is that Eagle, PSA, and probably very soon Piedmont are in a worse position due to being wholly owned. The threat of a shutdown is a little more empty when it comes to XJT.
Asking another pilot group to "fall on their sword" without giving them an "out" is just as selfish as voting yes.
