ExpressJet and Skywest have better work rules and pay than Eagle.
Compass has better pay than Eagle
In contrast, PSA pilots specifically voted in concessions to take airplanes that were intended for Eagle.
The planes were not intended for Eagle. Parker never promised Eagle anything. In Parker's world the planes go to the lowest bidder which is why Mesa is flying "PSA's 900's" from the last time aircraft were offered to PSA. They voted no then and Parker put the planes elsewhere, that's how he does business and PSA was too small to vote no again. The 47 planes Parker is moving from eagle to PSA would have been the entire PSA fleet had they voted no, but I guess everyone should give up there job and move to the bottom of the list elsewhere at year one FO pay to make life better at Eagle. If this can happen so quickly at eagle then how long would it have taken to shut down PSA or PDT. Only months and they would have been on the streets. And the Eagle guys want to talk about selfish. They chose to play cards and their MEC laid down a pair of twos while Parker was holding a royal flush. Accept it.
