All we hear from them is, "this is gonna take a long time" and that "the integration must wait until all parties involved are present." I think you will find that most RAH pilots with a head on their shoulders realize that this isn't progressing the way we had hoped it to. I understand that the hand being dealt to you guys is crap. However there is nothing good that is gonna come of driving all of us apart. Until YX ALPA can figure out a way to stop it through arbitration it will keep going the direction it is. Remember that most of us here at RAH are reasonable people. However when we come onto these boards to read about what your thoughts are all we read is how you guys want nothing to do with us and hope we all get furloughed because in your eyes we are somehow less of a person because we happened to be flying for a regional when all this went down. Remember that most of us here were just trying to get our time and move onto greener pastures (like Midwest). Bedford has changed everything and whether we want to or not we are going to eventually have to integrate and some years down the road I may be flying right seat next to you. I really think its bad form to be pitting the pilot groups against each other this early in the game. Let the unions, arbitrators, and lawyers figure all that stuff out and lets move forward and work towards making this place a less toxic environment to work in.
