The Eagle, er Envoy pilots saw this coming and rightly put their foot down and told him "NO"! Not once, but Three times. Unfortunately, PSA and PDT couldn't see all this and told him "Yes". If Parker can drive the cost of the regionals down enough, he'll be asking you to give up your 190's, or group 2 aircraft to the regionals, or threaten your pay under that you agreed to in the MOU. What'll be next? MD80's, 737's? Don't fall for that sh!t!!! Don't give up a d@mned thing!!! Not like he can threaten to shut you down, like he threatened to do at Eaglevoy.

except
they did cave
they made a final offer back to aag with the caps, and other things they were looking for, and dougie told them they were too late and to pound sand until 2016
eagle also demanded all the aircraft slated for pdt (these ones they were supposedly defending for mainline
) , AND to shanghai our flow slots away from us to use themselves
