Can you say "straw man argument??" The majors lost most scope strength through the bankruptcy judges...not because we
forgot to bargain for it. But I would like to see RJ pilots stand and fight for higher wages and bettering their profession.

So is that the excuse as to why RJ pilots have yet to stand up? I guess you can always find a reason not to fight...if you look hard enough.

We do need to fix our side of the house. But understand that an RJ pilot that flies for substandard wages in the hopes of gaining experience for a major, undermines the very job he/she dreams of attaining. That is half the problem.
