Might as well be mad about the E120 Brasilia and J31 too then. Heck, the B1900 too, seeing as how it's faster than the Saab!
That's exactly what I was referring to. I know I'm not taking anyone's flying away in my little Saab. I could have gone RJ, I choose the Saab for several reasons. And I'm angry at the darn B1900 for being faster
Just kidding.
To go back to topic here I don't think 9L and 9E will be integrated anytime soon, looking at how management feels, it will be a long fight. 9E pilots have been getting jerked for the past 3 yrs about their contract. I would love for 9E to get their contract, us merge with fences and be a happy family just don't see it happening for years, specially with the economy.
And please if you were not part of your company getting an union stop bashing us for failing our first time! YOU have not a single right to talk. Anyone else that fought for their union is welcome to provide advice on lessons learned. We are our worst enemy and until we start to care about each other I don't see this getting any better for anyone.
