This hypothetical situation of yours is not here yet so I'm not having to deal with it. I hope I never do. If the only way you could upgrade in your company was to go into the left seat of a 70 seater would you refuse and stay as an FO making crappy pay or would you take it? Give me an honest answer on that one.

If the union lets it happen then THEY let it happen. GoJets is a whole different story. Once the companies agree on it then that's it. There was no alter ego creation and people being scabs flocking to support it. The union and management will have agreed to make it happen. How are you stabbing someone in the back once they've agreed on it? Like I said. I hope the union doesn't let CAL get away with it.

If XJT had 170's on property based in your home you're telling me you skip upgrade, sit there as an FO making half the pay, and double leg commute to work before taking the upgrade as some type of silent protest? If you don't like my response then tough. Honestly I'd rather fly a 145 as I actually enjoy FLYING and since we don't have ACARS the captains in them usually pull more. The situation you tried to deal me is a sandbag attempt to make me out to be something I'm not and that's a lowballer scab. Now you answer your exact questions honestly. I doubt ANYONE could do it any different.
