Compasss got an order after envoy's vote didn't pass. It's clear a day that Mesa would have gotten the 900s. I calculated that I could drop down to 65 hours and make the same as a Mesa pilot working 75hours with 11 whole days off. It's clear that the 900s are on a more valuable contract than they would have been even with the concessionary TA. The 700s are a victim of a merger period. No different than losing in SLI through arbitration. The PSA Mec made a poor choice writing this letter.

I by no means think the Eagle Mec has done anything applaudable for their pilots. Telling your pilots to quit is 10 times more disgracefull than this letter could be.
Endeavor paid bonuses and had a nyc base. So what, any eagle pilot can figure out how to quit and become a new hire all by themselves, they don't need to pay dues for that privilege. Endeavor was hiring guys back at their pervious longgevity, did Eagle shop talk about that. Did they talk about allowing them to keep their seniority on the eagle list if they quit for endeavor. Did the Eagle Union have any conversation about anything that an eagle pilot couldn't acheive on his own. Isn't that the point of a union? To not even have a conversation, and look your pilots in the face and say we tried everthying is a discrase. It shows your senior group is more worried about scales than jobs, but will be happy to collect dues from them right up until the day they're furloughed.
