I didn't really skip over it, I just think we are so far apart, we could type for 30 pages and never get anywhere.
The basic premise though:

I don't really recognize your "no" votes. They were not large orders and did not decimate the pilot group. They were also before the merger was a twinkle, before the game was to be played.

In answer to your second question, if everyone said no, they would not have shut anyone down. They may have huffed and puffed but who would they pick to shut down? The smallest? The most defiant? Let's say worst case scenario they went into punishment phase and decided to make an example of poor little PSA. Would they have shut you down overnight? Where would the flying go? If we were all refusing to play ball, the flying would have gone no where because none of us would fly it without it being more expensive than you flying it. With Xjet and RAH on board, we had a real chance. It only takes one small piece of the line to fall apart and it all goes and that is what you guys did. I wish you could have been on our side when all this was going on. It was exciting! We really felt the momentum. Such a dagger in the side when you guys caved the first time. When they gave you our CRJs, and some of your guys even taunted us on social media, it was twisting the knife. The biggest stabbing is acting like none of this ever happened, like you are little innocents and everyone in the "real" world holds no ill will towards PSA pilots: they do hold the ill will I assure you and it isn't just envoy.

Time heals wounds and someday people will let go. Heck I might even let one of you in my jumpseat someday
