How about man up and admit ALPA and APA own a good piece of this. Scope has been ****ed away for 25 years now.

If anyone needs to man up here, it's the entire unionized pilot force in this country. Quit kicking each other in the rocks for taking a job to pay your bills. Man up, and suspend service nationwide, carrier wide, once a week through Labor Day weekend. The right seat of a Dash 8 will pay $16K for ever if organized labor continues to NOT be organized. Talk is cheap. Slamming some other guy for taking a job is easy when you weren't the guy looking for a job.
