They must have thought it was going to be worse than that because we have this new reduced line loa that we signed. The only thing with that is they offered it to a ton of people, and then changed their minds and only gave out a few. i think what is saving skywest and pinnacle is our contracts. the wholly owneds unfortunatley are the ones that will be taking the beatings in the near future.
How long has it been since your last raise? You're keeping flying because it's all about the $$$. You guys are cheaper than us... by a lot. Not just in pay rate, but especially in longevity!
Several of us told ALPA they were pricing us out of the game. ALPA didn't listen, and excommunicated us. Now the prophesy is coming true. ASA will be gone within 5 years.
