What have they done man? Scope language... Whatever. It hasn't stopped us getting "uncut" here at XJT. Mesa has a union, so does TSA, so does PSA, I would gladly work at SkyWest over any of those places, heck if I went to SkyWest when I was offered an interview 4 years ago I'd make more money than I do here.

I like our MEC, but it's not like everything is good here. We just lost over 300 guys and took a pay-cut, but we keep talking about how happy we are here. What a joke.

It's not ALPA's fault, it's that we're still here talking about "raising the bar." You know what'll raise the bar? PILOTS QUITTING, using their degrees and saying F-THIS! F-this $40/hr 4th year pay when my little brother was offered $55,000 out of undergrad school.

I guess I didn't even work 100 days last year, and you can't do that flying a desk, but let's face it. 100 days off, isn't 100 days off if you can't afford to do anything or you have to work a part time job.

Oh yeah, and Garth Brooks sucks...
