What the company did was create an alter ego to aviod the contract then offered positions to guys who could now jump the senority list effectivly screwing the other pilots. If they would not take the positions the company would fail due to the fact that they would not be able to crew the planes quickly enough. But in the great race to the left seat greed takes over and alot of honest people get hurt by it.

This is not different from what JO did with Freedom against Mesa which is what created such a ****ty contract at Mesa.

This is what everyone is screaming about. We cannot stop the company from doing it but we can eduacte and persuade the pilots to not jump on the band wagon again lowering the bar.
