As soon as you figure out how to get one contract and one pilot list, unity is a pipe dream. How many of you have "mainline" contracts? Make whatever excuse you want, if you don't have one you caved for your own self interest.

I can't help but notice that you have become quite the expert in your less than one year of 121 time. But yes, after SAP became mysteriously " broken" I doubt the company will need to use it for a bargaining chip again. I do remember clearly when everyone on this thread was expounding its virtues. Do you think it helped in recruitment?

(Edit: I meant the other PSA thread)

It helped to convince me to go to PSA, so I'd say it was certainly a factor for at least some. And I am far from an expert, I would say rather I try to stay aware of what's happening at my airline (and others to some extent).

Well you guys have more leverage then you used to that's for sure. I see them coming up with some kind of CEL list in the future also between Envoy, PSA and PDT. Right now with the flow many PDT FO's will go to American before a ton of Junior Captains at PSA.

We don't need any more reasons to hate PSA.. 2013 was plenty enough.

Because they have been the only airline to pass a contract that "undercut" another airline, sure. Ask Comair pilots about that. I guess if it was before your time it never happened and the uncomfortable truth can be swept under the rug. BTW, how's that mainline contract you've got?

No its not before my time. I have been flying since the 90's.

We would all have better contracts right now if it wasn't for the places like PSA, Mesa and Gojets and the pilots willing to go there to undercut and get ahead at the expense of others. Eagle tried to STW and stand up for what was right in a time of record profits to just have their legs chopped out from under them by greedy upgrade hungry backstabbbers. If everyone said no collectively (which we tried to do with the ALPA FFD meetings) this BS would stop.

So Eagle never undercut Comair? Didn't Envoy just vote in a contract? Was it a mainline level contract? Justify it however you want. Everyone does what's best for them and their company when it comes down to the vote.
