We are getting FLEECED as regional pilots.

We are losing YEARS of professional pilot wages while we play this game.

Reread the definition of the Stockholm Syndrome . . . because as a regional pilot, I see it on a daily basis.

It's beyond embarrassing what we've allowed them to do to us. One guy starts a thread voicing his concern, and now you're taking a shot at him?

Take it from someone who has been in this industry for a long, long time -

NONE OF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE

Wake the hell up . . .

It's not black helicopter-ing . . . it's that deer-in-the-headlights look when your 'union' just recommended voting 'yes' on a contract that's the laughing stock of the Regional industry.

We're jaded and angry because the only thing our MEC seems to get excited about it making sure our 'union' dues are extracted from our paychecks in a timely manner.

After that - 'meh . . .'

I've been in this industry for a long time - and have seen a lot of things. I can honestly say I haven't seen anything that comes close to how weak our MEC is. Your results (or lack thereof) tend to breed mistrust and suspicion among the rank-and-file.

For Christ's sake, we're flying American and United's passengers for peanut wages, little-or-no medical/dental benefits, and crappy schedules. And you expect us to accept this a NORMAL???

Don't throw this in OUR laps . . . our MEC put us here. If you expect us to be quiet about it, you're delusional.

For everyone's sake . . . grow a pair!!
