You(PSA) put your fellow pilot down. Your scabs are upgrading in a year while I have FOs that have been on reserve for 3 years, and are looking at 7-8 years of poor pay before they upgrade. The only difference between them and you is that they stood up for the industry while your group took advantage of it. They knew they would benefit from saying yes, but said no for the greater good - and now they are paying the price, because you didn't play ball and effectively signed a death warrant for the careers of many.
What would have happened if no pact was signed and PSA was honest that they would readily screw over any other pilot group to look out for their own? Do you think that a level playing field like that would have resulted in you being able to do what you did? Doubtful.
So don't lecture me about moral turpitude kiddo. You belong to an organization that sucked it dry.
IF we were unified, we would not be under handing each other like management wanted. That pact was a good faith effort, by most anyway, to NOT allow management to whipsaw us and create disunity. Again, all ruined by your own selfish actions.
Who do you blame for Republic getting 47 E-jets from AMR?
Didn't a judge rule in 2010 or 2011 that only the Eagle union could operate their airplanes because they were co-signers on the loans?
How did Eagles name get off the title of their airplanes?
Hasn't AMR been trying to get as far away from Eagle as possible since before 2007, they just couldn't find any buyers?
You're so quick to blame PSA for Eagles problems. Bottom line is American competes with Delta who shutdown their top heavy airline, and pulled major concessions from their other wholly owned. You don't think any pressure came from their direct competition?
