And no, I wouldn't like is too much if eagle came into STL and started flying the routes, but I'd understand that the pilots had nothing to do with it and it was all management. Also, a dirty look is one thing, i don't give a damn about that, but beyond that I would expect you to act professionally. i'm not asking you guys to take us to dinner, i know the greeting wont be warm by any means, but dont be tools.
what does that mean?

nobody wants to see eagle downsized and i would hope you wouldn't wish layoffs on anyone, karma's a b***h.
here we go now with the "my regional is b

tter than yours" BS!

get over yourselves.
And here we go with the flamebait BS! Get over yourself.
I think Eagle guys have every reaon to be a irritated. I do see a problem with American furloughing Eagle pilots and replacing them with the cheaper alternative. Sorry to inform you but pay and benefits are much higher at Eagle than TSA, and its the same old story with Eagle / AMR / and TSA. As long as people settle to work for peanuts and be treated like dirt NOTHING will change.
My point in bring up scope at XJT was that it is an example of what having a good CBA is about. It is NOT simply about pay. And why XJT did not sell it out to MAYBE be furloughed by a new management. Amazing how pilot groups sell their contract and souls all for a job for a few months more. (Mesa ?!?) So flame away if you want but thats the truth.
