No I don't have any insight on that, just saying I bet things could have been handled differently with a successful out come. But, since 50 voters were not killed no one in congress cares. These were the top of the list pilots in regards to experience, the best of the best and look at no one making a fuss about it.

Day in and day out emergencies are handled by regional airline pilots with no harm to anyone, often never heard of. Yet one guy blows it and we are all inexperience, under educated and under qualified. We should change the manner in which they earn a living. I am telling you this is not going to be for the better. Enjoy your days off while you still have them.

All of you keep referring to our crap contract. Which for one this was the first contract CHQ pilots had ever signed. for another, has thus far saved us from a Freedom, GoJet style inner whipping. We as FO's don't need to be climbing over one another for equipment, that suits me just fine. And no $37 an hour isn't great but this wasn't IBT representation that led us to that. Just like ALPA didn't lead mesa to crap wages on their last bout.

The IBT has taken steps to get rid of the junk representation we've had and things are looking much better. At least Hoffa hasn't sat down in congress and so much as called us un-worthy of the job.

Yeah, I probably should. But were not talking about my union throwing me under the public bus in support of higher dues paying groups.
