You guys are too worried about trading SAP for flow and your crappy outstation bases to really care about real issues and to improve the QOL with your fellow WO carriers.
Those airplanes are coming to PSA because that’s what AAG wants. They most likely would of come no matter how PSA voted. Having spoken with most of the lifers I flew with as an FO about their vote and their reasoning for it, most were a no vote and many think the 900s were coming to PSA regardless. It was always AAG’s plan for successfully enveloping 3 WO regionals.

And contract 2013 wasn’t all bad. It gave us the unrestricted SAP and pilots were crediting 125+ hours /month due to the reserve coverage and critical pay language. Company realized this and stopped it which ultimately culminated in an unfavorable decision from an arbitrator. But as it was written it offered unparalleled quality of life and pay at that time.

Literally half of the current pilot group probably has zero clues about any of the history between Envoy and PSA. Like literally zero clue. Most FOs who have asked me about it are completely ignorant to what happened. It isn’t a deciding factor when choosing a regional for most. People just want quality of life and flow and can’t be faulted for that.

And I’m not sure what the point of your last sentence was other than an obvious attempt to make some odd dig and troll further. Of course we’re worried about losing our SAP as much as any pilot group would be worried about any major part of their contract potentially changing. So I guess I just don’t see what you’re getting at with that one...
