Why would you think I'm 21?
If it was up to him he would have had a scope clause in place, but it wasn't his choice.
Wasn't ours either. But since some feel it's ok to throw mud on the faces of the pilots here, which had no say, then some things needs to be made quite clear on who is actually to blame.
He simply worked his way up in the ranks like you're trying to do and went to a very reputable major airline. Now he has to watch a bunch of 20 year old cocky flight instructors tear his entire career down.
Don't be so naive to think it's us that's doing it. That airline is anything but reputable. It's the closest thing to Lorenzo since Lorenzo.
Sorry to burst your bubble RAH guys but you will forever be talked about in the exact same manner as MESA & GOJET.
Only by a pile of idiots. RAH was not created some alter ego that we chose to go work for simply for a super quick upgrade sidestepping other pilots. It is a regional like any other that's contracted to fly aircraft for mainlines. There was no picket line to cross, no work actions taken, no alter egos.... There was only a huge hole in the midwest contract that those pilots voted on and didn't button up. We don't want those aircraft here but we're not ignorant as to how they came to be. Get your head out of the sand.
I hope you don't have to many commuters over there! Because I know several guys at mainline and regional airlines who are very aware of this situation and will not allow RAH guys on the jumpseat.
Are you sure? You know several mainline and regionals guys that will not allow RAH guys to jumpseat? I haven't met any. Jumpseats are not political tools. They ride on us and we ride on them. I think you're completely full of it.
Maybe its managements fault who knows.
Apparently just about everyone but you do. RAH pilots didn't know about this till the press release and these aircraft became available through request from Midwest thanks to a complete lack of scope protection in their contract.
The bottom line is if you guys bend over and allow this to happen, you better move to base and fast!
What do you mean "If we allow this to happen"? What is it you think can be done by us? Simply say "i'm not flying it" and get fired or penalized? You're just talking to hear yourself talk since nothing you've said is rational. You have any idea what a J/S war does? You think it only goes one way? Give me a break. Unless they are complete fools they'll no better. Does make it easy to see which group you're in.
