Here's what you're not getting: Scope sales under extreme pressure and fear tactics started well BEFORE bankruptcy. Those contracts were voted in by 70% plus margins. You cannot blame the "senior pilots" for contracts that were voted in by 70% margins. I know this is fashionable for RJ pilots to throw hate on the senior major pilots, but it's simply not accurate. We have our share of blame for caving in to fear tactics, but it's not all on us.

In a lot of ways, ALPA has become exactly that.

Since ALL pilots are hurt by contract degradation, your attempts at smearing "elite" pilots continue show ignorance.

Actually you are. Since most of what you post is factually inaccurate based on an ignorance of history, the moniker still stands.
