I know its a little of topic but I saw a story about PSA taking delivery of a new CRJ900 with an American Eagle paint job. Whats that about?

New Regional Jet for PSA Airlines | www.mydaytondailynews.com

American Eagle is a brand name now like US Airways Express is. All regionals will fly under this brand, hence why Eagle had to change their name to Envoy.

Upgrades times are dropping quick and new hires are getting lines out of training. The company it still running understaffed and guys/gals are continuing to credit 100+ hours every month without trying while still having at least 11-16 days off.

It's 80%.

Filler.

Wow , all that and you get the upmost respect of your peers.

That thing should be at mainline.

This year its PSA, next year it'll be another pilot group that everyone hates, and another one the year after that...

Not that I'm condoning making any deals with regional management in this climate, its just that all this PSA bashing gets old. I get it, its the "cool" thing to do.

Move on...

Hey man, I'm just telling you how it is. People need to know.

You must be a PSA pilot. So who will we all hate next? Seems like everyone but PSA has said NO to concessions. There aren't that many other airlines out there to be asked to take a similar deal. There's a legitimate reason why everyone is angry with PSA.

I understand your frustration, I really do. When I was doing the 121 regional thing (Piedmont - the suckiest of the suck), I had a lot of pointless hatred and animosity towards other pilot groups too. Having been Part 135 for a couple years now, I've had a chance to look back and realize how ridiculous and childish I was being. Nothing against you, hell, I don't even know ya! I just think one of these days most of us will look back and be like, "eh, I guess it wasn't that big of a deal".

I don't know, maybe its the Rolling Rock typing, but is PSA's "new" contract REALLY that bad...? Compared to what I'm used to, PDT, its not that bad at all. Ok, I will say the pay caps blow, but other than that?
