Just a friendly reminder to all the drooling exRJ drivers out there.. The rates a great, but the rules are a million times more important. You can negotiate the rates, but once you loose the rules they are very hard to get back.
The company will try to play the game of modest increase in rates lowering the rules - be mindful of that.
And if you think if we'd ever get these rates back - think WE should and WE can.
It will take a fight, which will only be harder if too many of us feel "how lucky they are to finally make it to the majors!"
I think we should all be prep'ed for a couple of NO's on the first TA's and maybe a little walking off the job.
P.S. Sorry, overheard an inmature conversation in a crew room and had to vent..

And don't forget about when he compared us to janitors. 
And this wasn't necessarily in his testimony... but don't forget about labeling our potential strike a "murder/suicide"... and then the whole turning the other employees against us thing. I could never have imagined that anyone could have such a complete lack of respect for what we do.
That was a very dark time and I'm glad it's behind us. The attitude towards us by the other employees was absolutely appalling. By far the worst thing I think I've ever seen in all of my career. I hope none of us ever see anything like that again. EVER.
