You all understood you were taking the concessionary deal simply to take airplanes from envoy. Your leadership understood that it also probably meant our 700s. And that rumor was well spread when you guys voted. You guys did what you did. Don't try to rewrite history.
I wish you had access to our web board. Never, ever, ever did anyone ever mention that eagles 700's were part of the TA. Not one person made mention to that.
Now after the agreement was signed, we did have
management speculate that airways is looking at shuffling airplanes around. They even mentioned that we would just be a 700/900 operator. Yes there was talk about PSA losing 200's. That is why many of us were scared of the TA. The thought was that we get 900's and we lose 200's. But never was eagles 700's part of the picture during the TA debacle.
