Perhaps the IAH continental pilots are just concerned about being outsourced as well by replacement jets.
I'm pretty sure you completely missed his sarcasm...
However, you need to get it through your holier-than-thou head that
we . don't . want . these . jobs .
What many mainline pilots fail to understand is that we don't want these jobs. We want jobs at mainline. We want YOU to stand up to get the jobs back that MAINLINE pilots gave away. We want mainline pilots to finally realize that scope is the reason YOU are out of a job and the reason WE are stuck in a system that REQUIRES us to work at regionals to be deemed worthy to be hired by mainline.
What you seem to think: The reason you are on the street is that regional pilots are eager to fly your airplane for half as much and the solution is for regional pilots to band together and not go to work.
What the reality is: The reason you are on the street is because mainline pilots did not secure scope and forced us to work for half as much because they relinquished jobs and the solution is for mainline pilots to band together and fight Management for scope
both in the new JCBA as well as the current CBA's - including this obvious CAL scope violation.
(PS, aren't you the guy who is so pro GJ? The ones who are outsourcing outsourced flying? If not, forgive me)
