Nor you on us. How many years did you spend on furlough?

Not if we fly code share for foreign carriers who don't limit us and pay us more. Maybe it will, but it can't be any worse than what we have been dealing with ALPA should have formed partnerships with us. They didn't. They shunned us and treated us like crap. Karma is a *****. Welcome to what the regionals have been dealing with.

The "regionals" should have never existed. However mainline greed and arrogance created them. They sold the scope to prop up senior pay and retirement after deregulation. The regionals reached out to the mainlines to fix the mess. They were crapped on by the mainline MECs. Spare me the "union brother BS"...That isn't how ALPA works.

The best way to eliminate the race to the bottom at the regional level is to increase mainline scope and do away with the regionals. I will never vote yes for a contract that relaxes scope.

The CMR passengers were rerouted on Delta, ASA, ACA, and SkyWest. It wasn't "struck work". They were then shut down and Delta didn't do a damn thing for them. Thanks for pointing out yet another reason I don't care about this NAI issue. I walked the line with many fine CMR folks and they were hung out to dry....ALPA doesn't care about regional pilots.

You going to take all those regional pilots when you take back that flying? You want the flying, but you probably don't want all the pilots who do the flying...

You're proposing that the regionals are going to code share for foreign carriers.
So somewhere, orders need to be placed or jets need to come out of the desert to fly these things into supposed hubs such as FLL to feed NAI.
The regionals can barely staff what they are flying as it is. You think they can pull this off?
If anyone codeshares with a foreign carrier, it'd be more likely to be Spirit, Allegiant, jetBlue, et al.
The foreign carrier certainly isn't going to waste their time messing around with a regional airline for support when they have demonstrated they can barely support themselves.

Wrong...
As lower level more simple jobs gets outsourced, that frees up resources to work on other higher level things.
The CEO of a small business might take out his own trash. However when the company grows he probably ends up paying someone else to do it because his time is more valuable. Countries are the same way.
When lower level tasks can be done more efficiently, they will be, market forces demand it.

Google H1b visa abuse. Educate yourself then we can talk. Last time I checked I don't do a simple job, and yet I'm looking at potentially lower wages due to globalization, as do engineers, scientists, computer programmers and on, and on.
Also, see this page for how globalization has been treating US workers so far.

Also google cognitive dissonance while you are at it.
