Hey guys, if pay is not such a big deal, why don't Mesaba guys take a cut and come down to Colgan rates? The fact of the matter is that hourly rate is what makes the contract. Most of the "soft money" is based off hourly rate...so yes, I'd like to see Mesaba rates for Colgan Saabs. One contract...one voice, right?

But....it's a moot point to try and make the case...the choice is now in the hands of the 9E and XJ pilots. Can you guys at least buy the higher quality anal lube for your brothers at Colgan??? (None of that management stuff with the sand in it...)
