The "and don't look back." comment about sums it up. That's the problem with the "yes" voters at PSA and PDT. They really don't give a flying f@&? about the damage they are doing to the whole industry. The "it's all about me" has got to stop at the regional level. All this will do is further the gap between cost of mainline operation and the regional feed. Thus feeding right into management's plan of getting scope relief because of the disparity of cost between flying a md80 and an e175.
Whether you know it or not Billyhobag your way of thinking may do you more harm than good. If and when AAG furloughs because of pilot groups (like PSA and PDT) make it cheaper to fly the e175 than the md80. I'm sure management will have no problem booting your ass to the street and hire the "me first" regional to fly their airplanes. Why do think AAG wants scope relief? Why do think it's so important for the 12/4 caps?
You sit on your high seat and keep gloating about your flow this summer "and don't look back". But just know that it's pilots like you that have gotten the industry in the mess it is in with the "me first" mentality.
Rather shouldn't all of us try to make the profession what it once was, and not worse?
