Colgan is undercutting you. You are undercutting me. Thank you for putting me on the street, tpersuit.
What are you talking about? ExpressJet is undercutting Continental pilots? Do you understand the history of ExpressJet and Continental at all? Do you understand anything that the CAL ALPA MEC and XJT ALPA MEC do together to try and improve the QOL for the pilots at both companies?

ExpressJet was part of Contintental not to long ago and was sold off. You are doing yourself no service here by bashing a fellow furloughed pilot who is trying to keep things in perspective. I would gladly give up my job to the CAL pilots so they can take the their flying back for themselves. Or would you rather have me and my fellow XJT pilots lower our pay and work rules to be competitive?

I'm just curious what your angle is here, because to me it seems like you say it is OK for pilots to do anything: Gojets, fly struck work, etc.
