Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better....

It was your side that wanted to go with an untested new PBS system, over a currently used popular PBS system that has been tested. Incredibly stupid in good times and fatal in this tough negotiating environment.

The blame lies solely on your inexperienced revolving door MEC...

The main difference is longer legs. 700/900 won't be affected much, but the Delta 200 is going to suck...We shot ourselves in the foot again with FTDT with the law of unintended consequences.

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot and then we complain because our feet hurt....I wonder if we will ever learn.

If we aren't dual qual. by the first of the year, I'm going to the 700/900, because the 200 schedule will be the new definition of suck...

Or how about how wise is it to vote yes for a contract without hard FT/DT language in it? Leaving the contract open to a MOU leaves us open to getting screwed.

"Cr***er" is a term of endearment.

But cracker is not racist or profiling, haven't you'll been keeping up with the Zimmerman trial. Geez, no wonder pilots are so disconnected

****27 Driver, every week there is a kind young pilot who comes on here asking questions for their "friend" who is trying to get at a regional. Cool story, if your friend wants to know something he can go get it himself. Why are people so scared to do things for themselves.
