The mainlines will have their regional feed one way or another. We can keep accepting jobs from lowlife scumbags types like (insert name here), and helping him get rich while accelerating the race to the bottom, or you can get some self respect and do what's right in the first place... when the lowlife Companies go away, the owned companies will just grow larger.
It's basically the same arguement Mainlines have been saying about regionals for decades... that we are stealing the flying... and nobody believed them.... I'm sure if you ask a few Midwest pilots, they may be able to explain the long term detramental effects of outsourcing.... be it outsourcing to replace a little plane, or a big plane....
Wow...another winning personality from Eagle.
I can not begin to express my enthusiasm for my next van ride with one of you types. I have definitely met some decent Eagle guys but it seems like y'all have a disproportionate number of obnoxious d-bags. I don't get the "if you ain't wholly owned, ya ain't schnit" attitude. I really don't. You may be wholly owned but that still just makes you the ultimate B-scale employee. Good for you. For the record I work for one of the worthless undercutting scumbag non-wholly owned operators (XJT).
Get off it dude.
Sorry for the thread drift, just had to vent. With all this talk of TSA furloughing, does that mean the option of combining GoJet and TSA seniority lists (as distasteful as it is) is off the table? I feel for you TSA guys getting furloughed while spineless jet-A "wannabes" are still getting hired at Gojet. Burns me up.
