Was it the Pilot Group???? Really...Maybe it was the poor choice of people who got on board of the Unionizing Committee.
Point in case, almost EVERY SINGLE ALPA Union Committee member is now in line for a class date for the Q400. (Yourself Included)
The whole reason the drive got going was becuase of the sub-par wages offered to fly a 74-Seat aircraft.
The Union never got voted in, and even without a Union the Committee guys said we'll fly the plane anyway. If their is a willingness to work for sub-par wages or salaries, management will always get there way.
Their are only a few Pilots at Colgan who decided it wasn't worth it to them to lower the standard and work for 50-seat pay on a 74-seat aircraft. I consider any union committee member who fought to unionize for better pay, lost, and then signed up to fly the Q400 regardless, no different then a scab crossing a picket line.
Perhaps you should shut your yap for once, try and learn something about the industry rather than preach your garbage.
