They are standing up to a corporation that came for concessions under the agreement that they wouldn't ask again...and they did. They are standing up for the profession and are risking their own careers hoping the rest of us do the same. Either they give us much better contracts, flow throughs, and a future, or you get nothing. Then they went to PSA. They offered the same contract and you signed it while giving them the finger. The regional airlines are all going to be in a lot of trouble in the near future. If all the regionals are too expensive majors take flying back and we all win. Or just you could win.
