I think this was already offered.

Its either DO nothing and watch the rest of the jobs get flushed or do SOMETHING while they still can.
For a job action like this, such as a sick out that you mentioned, it must be union organized.

This Rah/E190 deal will not go down well with ANY of the pilots who do the hiring at the mainline carriers.
If I was an Rah guy with hopes of moving on, I'd stay away from any 100 seater while at a regional!
Of course, the older Rah guys, or those with no degree will fly it.
For those who want to move on, it's simply
career suicide. At least it will be good news for the guys at other regionals.
Oh, the Rah guys will get an interview. You'll be asked your name, you favorite color, and then "See ya".
Again, it's career suicide!
I guess even at Rah, there will be some lifers.
Of course, the mainline carriers will likely have an answer to stop this affecting them.

How do you suppose we avoid the flying? Should I tell the company, sorry, I'm not flying that plane. They'll say, sorry, you don't have a job anymore. If we can avoid this, we will. I think career suicide is a little harsh when my 2 options are fly the plane or hit the street. And I would hope that the pilots doing the hiring at the majors would have a little more sense than you and know those were my only options. If we find something with our union to stop this, we will.
