You relaxed scope to maintain a $3 an hour pay raise that you ultimately lost in bankruptcy. You all sold your jobs away to try and make $300K and now decry the very operations you created. And now I'm sure CAL will be subjected to the same pathetic scope clause United has...but it will be the regional pilots who take all the blame.
That is dead on accurate. I wish more people on here realized this. Should be posted on the Mainline side to hopefully make more of them aware of it. Then maybe it will stop. It never fails to amaze me how some people blame pilots of one group or other (after the fore mentioned sellouts) for something that management does. Does anyone really think that if someone could get higher paying flying job somewhere that they wouldn't take it. "hmm I could take this job for 23 an hour or this one for 50. I think I'll take the lower wage"
geezzzhhh.
