By your repeated use of "we" may "we" assume you are an MEC spokesperson for the pilot group, conveying an official message Luis? good to know your pilot group is being held hostage by us ASA bullies. I find that statement extremely ironic.
No, sorry. I should have been more clear. You ASA guys are not who I was referring to in that analogy. I'm speaking of Skywest pilots. They are the ones who our warden favors. So they don't want to change it for the sake of the new inmates, us ASA and XJT prisoners. And no, I'm not official anything. I'm just a line pilot.
By the way, what is the date of that meeting you mentioned? Is it with the NMB appointed mediator?

I think he means ExpressJet as a whole is being held hostage by the SkyWest side. Either way, it was a stupid analogy.
It's a perfect anology. All three pilot groups are in the same prison with the same warden (CEO). The warden favors them so they don't want the arrangement changed even though the warden is being immoral with us in full sight of Skywest. The basement of the pawn shop scene in pulp fiction comes to mind. But in this case Bruce Willis (Skywest pilots) decide to do nothing. If they were to organize we could all collaborate together in order to make this prison better for all of us, not just them. It's a perfect analogy of what is going on.
