This has been answered many times and even proven! Many of you are in denial and do not understand how this works.
AA gave 20 of the E170/175s slotted for AE to Compass with options for more.
AA said if PSA votes no then they will give it to Mesa.
Compass and Mesa pilots did not and will not have a say in whether they want the aircraft or not.
Go jets and XJT are operating comair CRJs. They did not have a say in it.
The flying is not yours. Neither are the aircraft. Parker did debunk the theory that AE is too big to fail. I know the old AA couldn't get rid of AE no matter how hard they've tried but the new AA is all about squeezing every last cent out of their employees. Look at America West and US Air. One group hates the other while the company enjoyed having the lowest paid major airlines because the pilot group cannot come together to negotiate a new contract. PSA is being hated by AE and the others while the company will be saving millions by transferring aircraft from senior group to a small group that will double in size and have 2-3 year captains.
Do you really think this is a coincidence? They didn't feel one bit of remorse taking away your 700s. What makes you think they won't shut PSA or PDT down the moment they don't feel like we're necessary to use against another regional carrier.
