PDT is so backward and archaic as far as the way we operate, that it would take a lot more time for us to get ready for these jets than say a Skywest.

So thankfully I don't think we'll have the opportunity to tell em' to shove it, and to be quite honest I'm not sure our union and our overall pilot group would turn down an offer. We have been s#!+ on and undercut for so long by so many carriers that I'm worried we just might become the next PSA if given the opportunity. Hell, E175s even if they were at PSA 900 rates, would be huge pay raises for all of the pilots here.
