So one contract in the regionals is better.....

your 15 cents more perdiem equates to 540 dollars per year. I can make this up by picking up one day.

you get 12 hours more sick time than PSA per year. If I pick up 2 days IN A YEAR I've made that up.

So there's sick and and perdiem.

How exactly is vacation better? Don't say trip touch because our SAP makes that obsolete.

Can't argue with the 401k. That seems significantly better at comparable longevity.

I doubt your work rules are better. I would pit PSA's against any in the regional sector and be comfortable saying that. Our superior work rules are also available to any pilot not on reserve, regardless of seniority.

Work rules essentially pan out to days off and W2s. Pilots at PSA enjoy more of both than most regionals.

We didn't kill any pilot groups. Eagle made a calculated gamble and unfortunately lost. Their war cry was "no one can staff." That turned out not to be true. They were warned multiple times not to mess with Parker and did not take that advice to heart.

The 700s were gone whether Eagle voted yes, or no. They were told that before there ever was a vote.

It is not "right" or "fair" that AAG was looking for give backs while making record profits. Unfortunately the world does not work on "fair," or "right." AAG was in an advantageous position and exploited it to get what they WANTED, not what they needed.

PSA did not vote to "steal Eagle's acft" they voted to secure that PSA still existed in a year. This most recent news of Eagle's 700s being transferred proved that PSA's assessment of AAG's threat was correct. No one at PSA wants acft this way, and most have friends at Eagle that will be directly harmed by these events.

The seniority system being non-transferable coupled fragmented "unions" with separate seniority lists ensure that this is not the last time a similar scenario will occur.

Good luck to the pilots at Eagle.
