You are right: you didn't take concessions or anything but obviously a CQFO program is designed to pilfer from other regionals so don't act all high and mighty about what it is your pilot group is playing along with.
I don't hope you fail, I'm betting you fail. Whether you do or not does not affect in even a miniscule way.
How are new guys being duped? By offering them an opportunity to make more money and pad their resume (in an effort to get hired with a major) ? American Airlines played you guys. I am truly sorry for that. We did not vote in a concessionary contract. United took those planes from Xpress Jet...not us. Is it Trans States fault that they can fly for a profit while maintaining a happy pilot group with a better than average contract? Again, no concessions. Upgrade times are quick. Pilots are happy here. Most people are coming here to have an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't have had at their previous airline. This is what your mad about? What is it that you are 'crusading' for? You sound like a clown
