"Pretty much what it means is current Mesaba Saab pilots will make more than future Mesaba saab pilots (IE when Colgan pilots get merged in with Mesaba pilots)."
Is this a FACT or CONJECTURE? I don't mind biting the bullet until my callsign is "Col... er um... I mean Mesaba", or maybe a even a year, but looking five years down the road, the B scale still exists.
Yeah, the pay increase is fantastic, but when will I cease to be a second class, bottom feeding pilot? I absolutely do not want to go into the next round of negotiations as the red headed step child.
(For all the the negotiators, thank you for all your effort. You folks took on a horrible job, and your effort has not gone unnoticed. Thank you)
