The pilots of PSA are now reaping the benefits of having played into management's hands and making the future a lot harder for everyone else. We are competitors but that is not the same thing as being outright buddy frackers. PSA pilots really fracked the pooch on this and there is no denying it.
But why argue about it? With the quick upgrades and new planes just be sure to brag about it on the crew vans and in the jumpseat. If you're going to be a buddy fracker then you owe it to the rest of the world to be a big fat loud buddy fracker!!!
It seems like your attitude is justified, but also hindsight is 20/20. The basic question is did eagle vote yes because PSA did or because AAG was actively setting their airline on fire by outsourcing their flying. If the latter is true then it stands to reason that "standing up in unison is the equivalent of 3 brothers standing up to a gunmen saying they have they power. AAG demonstrated that they could and would destroy Eagle that makes makes their threats or bluffs valid if the want them to be.
