You guys make it over there pull the ladder underneath you, there’s so much hypocrisy.
So you plan on being a regional pilot for life? Keep in mind you will have a career always at the mercy of the next contract. No one is however trying to take your job. We are however going to hold the line at a migration of additional mainline flying being outsourced. It’s interesting on the one hand you claim we are trying to take your job and another poster right above you claims we dont want to fly those jets. That claim is off course utter BS. We would be happy to have the next generation of smaller jets at the mainline just as we were happy to have the DC-9’s seating the same.
TSA can fly all the MRJ-90’s they want. They just can’t do it while flying contract work for Delta. They agreed to that when they took on those contracts. I believe that AMR and UAL have the same provisions. If we allow that flying at the regionals we cap our future CS100 flying. We are not going to do that short of another chapter 11 filing which seems highly unlikely.
