I'm sorry your on the street. The reason your on the street may or may not be your fault. It may be because you got hosed in arbitration and had a valid contract thrown out (not your fault). It may be because you never negotiated a reasonable scope clause into your contract (your fault). Point being...am I supposed to now put myself on the street so you can have your job back?
You can't afford to support yourself anyway. The Midwest pilots make enough to support families and own a house. A Chautauqua first officer barely makes enough to live in a cheap apartment and have a little left over for beer money.
