The buyout went from $1,500 to $12,500, and we're still slated to be getting 130 new E-jets, and now very possibly keeping a few of the current fleet much longer as well. We can debate which deal was better until we are blue in the face.

The reality is this industry for the first time in all of our lifetimes is having an actual pilot shortage. The ENTIRE rest of the industry was standing together, and PSA knifed everybody in the back; and from listening to you rationalize it, you guys seem proud that you enabled managements to continue to force the race to the bottom. We were only as strong as our weakest link, we know where that weak link is dont' we? The company sure did.... 4 weeks. Good job.

Have ANY of you PSAers even bothered to call your MEC Reps and ask if they weren't trying to get national to help them steal pilots to staff the planes?
