*the fo in the story had a personal dispute with the captain and thought he would not get in trouble for turning in the captain for flying overweight. At the end of the day they were both guilty because they both knowingly left the ground that way.

*Most of the examples given about pilot pushing were things that went on in the days of outstations and no over nights. I have worked here over 2 and a half years and have had less than 6 days over 14 hours and over half of them were because of something I picked up, not something I was scheduled for.

*Our union has passed several LOA's with management that have made this a much better place to work.

*I spent last weekend in a hotel pay protected for my trip while in the same hotel a Republic crew and their 4 day trip was down to 6 hours pay credit because they are not pay protected for weather. I was protected to 20 hrs of credit for 5 legs.

*Espress Jet has more daily departures in IAH than CAL and almost as many departures in EWR as CAL (so who's really hurting the insdustry).

We don't need to point fingers at other pilots and we don't need to point fingers at other regionals, We need to work together to make things better or if you really hate things that much then do us all a favor and quit. Regardless, shut up, I am sick of hearing how unfair your aviation career is because of Colgan.
