1) As long as the contract carrier pilots don't vote in concessions, I don't have a problem with them getting awarded flying. It proves pilots don't have to take concessions to fly bigger aircraft. I agree we as pilots of wholly-owned AAG "regionals" are a a disadvantage, but that doesn't justify us taking concessions to fly bigger aircraft.
2) PSA pilots voted to chop the top years of higher pay off their payscale. So yes, the PSA pilots voted for the company to pay PSA pilots less money.
Let's make "regional" pilots as expensive as possible to make the "regional" airline model economically unviable and put an end to the horrible "regional airline business model.
