There is a reason airline pilots are not making $500k per year.. there is also a reason dinosaurs are extinct..
Again I'll go slow this time since you didn't address anything on my post:
According to your original post you think is ok to make sub par wages on mainline aircraft because that's capitalism? Or because you will potentially lose 1 or 2 partners? And what about integrating the seniority list?
You're going to have to explain your logic in a bit more detail, otherwise you sound like another Bedford cheerleader. Capitalism has nothing to do with your group's ability to negotiate mainline wages for mainline aircraft. Bedford is trying to create a sub-segment of the industry, mainline airline, regional pay and rules. If you and your co-workers don't see how your desicions on your next contract affect the industry, then is you who needs to go. Go back to school, get into management, your attitude would be best served there and not on the side of labor.
Unfortunately, I think all of RAH's pilots are of the same fiber as you and TD, always trying to justify Bedford's actions, without thought of what it may mean to you as a pilot and to your brothers across the board.
