Oh I'm quite sure I'll get flamed for this, but since when has this industry dropped so low that everyone thinks it MY job. Lets look outside of aviation for a moment, company's come and go, they merge, people get laid off, downsized, moved around. It is not exculsive to our industry, You work for a phamacuetical company and it merges with another, your position is eliminated, guess what you freshen up your resume and you find another job at a different company. This mentality of pilots believing from they day they start whatever job and route they are on, is yours for life, you own it ( but its just not true), and if not then your going to get angry at someone else. I'll say it again
You got hosed, but it was your managment that ran your company in the ground, so your barking up the wrong tree. And to your above question (what exactly is your issue?), first you gripe that because of RAH contract being less pay than yours its RAH pilots fault you have to take their wages, yet you want to jump seniority, so WHICH IS IT, which one you want. You are really scared and I get that, Im on 7 months of furlough myself and it sucks, and my family has suffered, but just because your scared and fearful for your family, doesnt mean you lash out at someone else without cause....Your letting anger at Your own managments screw up cloud your judgement, and I hope you take this for what its worth, I am not picking on you, Im trying to get you to see clearly for your own good, even if you dont want to hear it right now. Good luck to you I hope you can find some peace.
