I am. That's what I'm saying.

LOVED the dig there "maybe you did try and it didn't work out". You guys just can't help yourselves from insulting us can you? No, FYI, I've never applied. No desire to. Now for the rest of you post...
Can't stand whining? Then maybe pilot message boards aren't for you.
I'm glad you took a "risk". It seems to be a common misconception among junior mainline pilots that having taken that so-called "risk" somehow makes you better than (or more "entitled to" success) the rest of us who didn't. I will never understand why you guys feel superior to us because you chose to gamble and won (for now).
Now I'd say that you knew going in that management has a history of asking, and MECs have a history of selling scope. That was part of your risk. But now you are fighting it and blaming those still at the place you came from. Maybe a little buyer's remorse there?
I'm not upset with you except for when you make threats to take my job away, just because you
chose to take a risk, and it might not be working out.
As I said. You tell
our union to fight for you, and I'll tell
our union to fight for me. If you can't understand why I choose to stay at a regional, then I guess it doesn't really matter.
But true
unity would be to find a
mutually beneficial solution like one list or a staple. When you guys unilaterally rattle your sabers and say you're going to steamroll us, of course, we're going to bow up and defend ourselves.
