HAHAHA. The rationalization on this forum is palpable. You boys keep telling yourselves what you are saying to make it sound like what you did wasn't reprehensible. Maybe you will actually believe it. That moment in time, when you are asking an eagle captain for a jumpseat, or introducing yourself as a PSA pilot at an ALPA function, or....whenever...it is at that moment when you feel that little twinge - that is when you will know how you really feel, and not just the words you post on the internet. If you are really proud, more power to you.

 

Ok, so you have a seat at meetings on the sixth floor?

 

PSA had 49 acft at the time of the vote. AAG just transferred 47 acft from Eagle.

How can you possibly say the threat was not real? You are letting emotions get in the way of rational thinking

 

No, I've watched Parker do this before.

 

The fact that you were in a union position is scary.

Your posts are consistently emotional, caustic, and unproductive.

I'm not trying to bash anyone, or prove that I'm "in the right." I'm just pointing out the perspective of the PSA pilots at the time in relation to the perceived threat to our jobs that in the end was proven to be very, very real.

You just continue to spew hate. That's not why I'm here.

I also voted no for our TA. I realize now that was actually a mistake.

 

Xjt and envoy pilots do support PSA as some are going to PSA. Coming from a friend who works there and has had at least 10 of those pilots inquire and apply.

 

Would they still have taken the flying away from Eagle if PSA told them no? Who would they have given it to if all the pilot groups down the line said no? And who would they have given your flying to had your pilot group taken a stand along with all the other groups? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm asking real questions.

 

This has been answered many times and even proven! Many of you are in denial and do not understand how this works.

AA gave 20 of the E170/175s slotted for AE to Compass with options for more.

AA said if PSA votes no then they will give it to Mesa.

Compass and Mesa pilots did not and will not have a say in whether they want the aircraft or not.

Go jets and XJT are operating comair CRJs. They did not have a say in it.

The flying is not yours. Neither are the aircraft. Parker did debunk the theory that AE is too big to fail. I know the old AA couldn't get rid of AE no matter how hard they've tried but the new AA is all about squeezing every last cent out of their employees. Look at America West and US Air. One group hates the other while the company enjoyed having the lowest paid major airlines because the pilot group cannot come together to negotiate a new contract. PSA is being hated by AE and the others while the company will be saving millions by transferring aircraft from senior group to a small group that will double in size and have 2-3 year captains.

Do you really think this is a coincidence? They didn't feel one bit of remorse taking away your 700s. What makes you think they won't shut PSA or PDT down the moment they don't feel like we're necessary to use against another regional carrier.

 

Yep!

Until you all quit or work together as one, nothing will change. I wish you all the best of luck. Its sad but luck has a lot to do with your future in the reginoal world. Does no good to blame others. Just the way the cookie crumbles..

 

Why didn't they just give it to Mesa without asking PSA for concessions if the price was already where they wanted it?
