Let's put blame where it should be. AAG and similar majors ore the root of all these issues. These majors make a profit of 1.5 billion per financial quarter. They can afford to pay the regional more money if they choose. It's like a PSA that has to concede in order to compete and get these contracts.
You're making my point...
"They can afford to pay the regional more money if they choose".
If people would stop rolling over for the first concessionary offer management give them, then maybe they would have to pay more.
Well, guess what? No one but the pilots at PSA voted YES for concessions! AAG management had no power to force it on them and other majors had no vote. After many other pilots took a stand and voted NO to concessions, the PSA pilots decided to undermine those groups and vote yes...
That's been the point all along, if everyone refused anymore concessions, they still need to cover the flying. The whole PSA apologist argument that they would be shut down, etc. is null and void because if ALL of us keep saying NO to concessions, then we can finally put a stop to the downward spiral. It really is that simple.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in this profession would stop going just a little lower to poach flying to benefit themselves? Is a little unity too much to ask??
