I can't believe I'm responding to another one of these but it's been a while and I'll make it quick.

During negotiations for our concession TA the gist was not "vote in concessions and we'll give you Eagle flying." It was "vote in these concessions or stagnate and die, most likely by 2018 when your 200s start coming off lease. We will not keep PSA around to fly 14 700s."

No one at PSA voted yes to "take anyone's job." They voted yes to save their own. Which, coincidentally, is the same thing Eagle and PDT both did. For some reason it was perfectly acceptable for PDT and Eagle?

At the end of the day the flying does not belong to Eagle anyway, or PSA/PDT either. We are all taking flying from mainline pilots, every single one of us. Us taking flying from mainline is how the system has been set up. If you want a job at a legacy and aren't military pretty much the only way to make that happen is to work at a regional. The same thing is true of wholly owned carriers. We cannot bid for outside flying, and are at the mercy of our mainline owner. This is the system that has been created. It wasn't created by accident.
