Back in 2007 there were still thousands of post 9-11 pilots still on furlough and/or pilots who were "stuck" in jobs waiting to get on with a "major" building time. My question is as a Compass pilot, why would I want to pay dues to a MEC that was commited to terminate my job? Like at every regional there are guys at the top of the list that like their seniority and don't want to move on. Reducing their flying hurts them. Obviously reducing regional flying should mean more jobs at the majors so it is good for most but not for all. My point is there are two sides to every story.
