When all is said and done you might be in an E190 or A319 making decent money on a brand new contract. You know what, I would be happy to see that happen. I do not feel that I am entitled to more than you and i will vote on a solution that takes your previous experience and invested time into account. However, the more you insult my(our) coworkers, the less sympathetic i get. If i were you i would try to work with and not against your future collegues.
I don't believe a word of it. You do realize they are just repeating BB's words don't you? It's in the teamsters best interest to promote such things. More in the teamsters best interests is to get as many of the YX and F9 pilots on the property as soon as possible because anything short of a real mainline contract is an automatic no vote from 1100 pilots.
