Herc Driver you seem upset with the prospect of possibly losing your job based on the decisions of others. How do you think the mainline pilots feel that have been furloughed, many of us twice? 70 seaters at United came about because of a backroom deal by one MEC chairman, zero input from the pilots. "Fraught with Peril"? There were no complaints from the regional pilots when they went from flying 30 seat turb props making $40K a year to $120K flying 70-90 seat jets. I think that you will find there are plenty of furloughed mainline pilots and even those on the property that are making $70k a year that would jump at the chance to fly them at those wages. What exactly are the regional pilots going to do to stop it from occuring?
