This should not come as a surprise. Sit down with any Piedmont pilot and listen to the history of them being hosed by PSA. Recently, people theorized Piedmont was going to hose the rest of us too when they didn't sign the multi regional ALPA contract to no longer lower the bar. Ask any Piedmonter and you will know it is because they regard the contract as worthless being that PSA signed it, AFTER they had just hosed everyone.
I had a USair Captain in my jumpseat today. As always lately, the conversation turns to the goings on. This was the first guy I had met yet that was unaware of PSAs recent selfish move. Suffice to say, once I had enlightened him, he was damn close to not letting a brown streaker in his jumpseat.
The word is out. Don't call it being a scab I don't care. You can't get past being scum though.
Okay, call me a psa apologist but you are a complete joke and have very little class to be making statements like that.
First of all, all the concessions were was capping pay which sucks, but how many people are actually planning to stay at a regional for life? Second off, iirc did the psa contract not get voted on BEFORE Eagle turned down the contract?
To call psa accepting a contract that another airline turned down "scabbing" is just sillyness and immaturity on all fronts. You are just as selfish as you accuse others of being. "Oh but wait, it's totally different if it's me right?! As long as someone else is not inconveniencing me..." Hooray for hypocrisy and double standards!
And I'll tell you something else. If you are a regional pilot than YOU sir are just as responsible for "scabbing" or "scumming," or whatever other dumb s word you want to use, as PSA pilots are. Every single regional has underbid someone else and taken a mainline job away. This is called the free market and you either adapt or die.
You offer absolutely 0 insight into any of these threads and have nothing positive to say. I'd rather listen to a mindless "company cheerleader" blowing smoke up my rear end all day than to listen to your non sensical rhetoric for even 5 minutes. It takes way less effort to listen to positivity. I will step down off my soap box now, but for the love...if you have no insight to add (which has been absolutely none so far) please stop posting.
