Two things:
1) Where are y'all getting this information from?! I read the article and my statements were based on the ONE media report about it. Unless y'all have new and more "official" sources I think you are reading a lot into it.

2) N2rotation: CHILL THE HECK OUT, over.
I am at ExpressJet too, friend. That doesn't give me OR you (or anyone else for that matter) the right to dump all over another pilot group, whether you agree with their management or not. Does their contract blow? Yes. Did ALPA negotiate that contract? Yes. Did you go there/work their with that terrible contract? More than likely. So before you strut around like your excrement doesn't stink I think you had better look in the mirror and remember where you come from. We're all in this together.

That said, I don't give a rip who works where for who, we as pilots should be the last one to join the torch and pitchfork mob anytime the media reports something "out of the ordinary" about an airline flight. We are our own worst enemy and you, my friend, do a great job of demonstrating that. Good on you.

EDIT: Thanks for posting all those link 8Lpearlchannel. However, those are all media (local media at that) stories and are, in my opinion, unreliable AT BEST. You can all enjoy your armchair quarterbacking and lynching but I'll sit on the sidelines and reserve judgment until something official is released.
