I'll start over since this is getting blown way out of proportion.
I do not hold ill-will to the pilots at RAH. I am just trying to point out how a very good pilot group at XJT is getting swindled out their jobs because CAL found a cheaper way to do it. This is not the pilots fault at RAH, this is mostly CAL and RAH management taking advantage of a cheaper contract at RAH to get rid of a more expensive contract at XJT.
You guys are acting like I don't know this industry, because I am new. I turned down a couple regionals to go to XJT.
If we don't recognize this, it will just get worse. I feel bad for the guys at Eagle because American is going to try and do the same thing to the Eagle guys that CAL did to the XJT guys. Get rid of your expensive regional and slowly suck away their flying to cheaper operations to save another buck or two.
Stop telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm very informed on the economics of this, it seems like some people just want to ignore what is happening here.
As for my job I'm not worried. I think attrition will run its course, and if I some how get furloughed, I have other jobs lined up I can make more money at, so I am fine. I worry about my friends here that have kids and no degree, they will be the ones hurt, at least show sympathy to them.
