When I see our Pacific flying, which is our next MAJOR frontier and our future CASH COW, being positioned as such that it will be a JV that mirrors the Atlantic, I get angry. This contract is rewriting the JV language so they can boiler plate it / rubber stamp it for Asia. You and I both know this. Phuz and I have widebody jobs that we want to look forward to. I didn't come here to be a 64 year old e190 CA or whatever the equivalent will be by then (no offense to anyone who does want to do it that late in life). We cant just be a holdings company that flies regional jets and outsources the majority of our international flying.
Anger will get you beaten. It is a terrible strategy. I am not so sure about your contention of the rubber stamp thingy. Maybe you can explain what you mean, because I am not sure I see it that way. Do you think that our current language can stop what you are talking about? Show me how. Educate me.
My prediction is that if this passes, the most senior guy on the E190 left seat will be a 5th year guy for the forseeable future. If you fly it as a 64 year old it will be because you WANT to.
