Reflecting on this whole thread, yes it sucks for you PSA guys that your company isn't honoring your contract. Some would maybe say Karma because you didn't hold the line with Envoy when every other regional had also held theirs, but I understand, you're pilots and you look out for #1 like Cam Newton and everyone else in this industry usually does. However, don't dwell on your employers shortcomings, enjoy the fact you have a guaranteed flow through program. At least there is a light at the end of your tunnel.
If you want to talk about holding the line, one could argue Skywest pilots are the worst offenders by not voting in representation while their sister company shrinks. I'm not arguing my opinion, just throwing that argument out there. Skywest pilots do not have a union or collective bargaining agreement like every other 121 scheduled airline including the most recent JetBlue, allegiant and virgin America (the last three I mentioned don't have a CBA yet but will soon).
