It's 80%.

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...

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?
