When labor costs go up the company will bring back furloughes. So stop being a Rat and do your part to increase labor costs.
Wow you are educated after all. You understand some laws. But on a forum there is no public word from a union. However its an ALPA forum in which our pilots at PSA are on. So how about you take your CA status over there and see what your fellow pilots think of you and your stance? Instead you rather hide behind a screen name and speak as to why its ok. I find it funny, you are at a regional right now and think making 90 an hour on an open time trip is great? I'm glad you have your final sights in your career at PSA. Because the class you carry yourself with will not get you far with a major/legacy carrier. Nor would the pilots there care for a RAT on their staff.
