It was a statement made by ATR that caught my attention. In an attempt to debate with him. The very attitude that flying an A320 for JB is any better or worse then flying a 777 for Delta or a CRJ for bubbas air service speaks volumes to me. They negotiated a deal and the company said sure we can do that. It’s a cyclical process. As far as 9E goes they waited on a 99’ contract until 2010. They then went into bk 18 months later and were given the pre merger xj rates until this vote. Yes the company threw them a bone and gave them the “bonus”. Go ahead and tell a guy that waited nearly a decade for hiring to start elsewhere that he’s over paid because he flys a regional jet while we almighty here at jb are competing directly with said RJ in JAX, SAV, CHS, DEN, AUS, BTV, BUF, ROC. Point is all pilots deserve a fair wage. All ALPA Pilots should be happy for other ALPA Pilots getting the next better deal. Finally yes to quote someone else “better get while the gettin is good”.The next decade could be amazing or it could suck as the last one did.
