By that comment it tells me you haven't been in this industry more then 5 years.

Are you at Gojet?
My thoughts on the matter are well detailed in posts 60 and 62 of this thread.

From my perspective it feels like the position of the majority of the Envoy pilots on this board is that PSA and PDT should've risked their jobs by voting no, just so we could watch AAG 700s go to Mesa instead, where pilots are paid much less.

Yeah, because THAT would give you guys leverage.

Riiiiiiiight......

If you are looking for a fast upgrade and getting to a major sooner then later then yes PSA might be for you.

Not an Envoy pilot, and Mesa will be lucky to be able to staff the flying they already have on their plate!
Management must really, really love the apologists at PSA, PDT, and Gojet!

So you don't really have an answer then, that's pretty much what I thought!

Well it's easy then and the market will figure it out on it's own.... If Mesa can't staff and PSA, PDT and GoJets sucks so bad then with your thinking nobody will be going there. Pilots have much better choices like Republic, SkyWest, AirWisconsin. So just let the market for pilots take over instead of losing your mind over it on APC.

Just wanting you to tell us who all the other airlines were that were sooo much cheaper they were getting all the RJ's? Simple question??
You've repeated it over and over, would really like to know, since the concessions just voted in make you cheaper than all but the bottom feeders.

When you fly with someone that's been around longer then 10 years you'll have someone to fill you in on the history of Piedmont Airlines.

Perhaps you should read my posts, probably been in the industry longer than you've been alive. So how about answering the question, it's a really simple one...
