I understand what you’re saying. The sad truth is we are flight AA routes. Nevertheless AE pilots did not get this flying because we are willing to work for less. AA pilots (APA) gave them (scope) up to protect pay and pension. Who made the mistake? We both did. For our industry to change for the better long term we both need to make sacrifices.
I cannot ask APA to take back AE flying improving my pay and work rules. Then expect APA to make the sacrifices for me. It’s sad to say if we AE and AA want to improve the airlines and the industry we are both going to bleed.
I am sorry if you disagree but that’s what this forum is all about. I am willing to take a short term beating to protect the industry for the CFI’s, future FO’s and long term myself. Weird… It’s like I am not a pilot …
