If you had any knowledge of how the system really works, ALPA National see's this as a way to stop the whip-saw and are excited about it! If they can push the issue on this, then when airplanes are moved from one company to another, they can force the airlines to accept the pilots to go as well. With pilots keeping their seniority for pay, there is no reason to move the airplanes. The end result is no whipsaw. PSA will be just fine if the 700's do not come over from Envoy. It is something that we didn't want from the start. Envoy's 700's were never part of anything that the pilots at PSA wanted. And, rest assured, we sure as heck don't want your pilots forced to come over here. That would be miserable for everyone.

You can talk all the crap that you want, but it looks like someone from PSA's MEC along with ALPA national did something that may benefit the entire regional industry for years to come.

My guess is that you are so upset because you didn't think of it. Read the other forums and talk to people that have real insight into how this industry works (not a line pilot) - this letter is being saluted as a potentially a HUGE step forward. Get your head out of the sand and see this for what it is!
