PSA lowered the bar to a level that threatened the survivabity of other airlines, thus backing us into a corner we should have never been put in. Meanwhile you have your PSA chearleader CLT GUY pushing for "unity."

If you honestly think $12.5K is an amount of money that could sway somebody's vote, you need to look into a new profession. We're worth way more then that my friend.

Hey man, I'm sick of seeing all this bashing PSA stuff. The seniority list is over 1000 and growing, and the number of pilots who had a vote on the contract years ago now is more than half of that number. My point is, almost 2 out of 3 PSA pilots now did not even vote- do you blame a young guy like myself for looking out for whatever is best for his career ? here's some career advice ...
Step 1- get a college degree
Step 2- get 1000 hours pic time

Then your all set!

Let me help you out. Youre wrong here. You will move on. Life will get better. Not sure what regional you work for. So, you will fly with guys from eagle, psa, pinnacle, XJT, Skywest..etc. they will become the friends you keep at your new job. Working for a regional and the problems associated will be a memory. You will have new problems and issues. Keep perspective. You will always have something to be mad about. It's just not worth the time.

Could be the difference between getting to your dream airline now vs 5-8 years from now.

I'd say it's probably worth it.

Good luck with getting that increased flow and better work rules...

That would be "me included" not "myself included".

Good luck. If you ever bring up PSA when you make it to a major (IF you make it) you are only putting a target on your own back.

No doubt... But I don't think its worth going into crushing debt for. My plan is to finish my associate degree this year (3 classes left) then do my bachelors online once I am making a little bit more money. In the next 5 years I think most legacy and LLC's will be forced to drop the requirement for a degree altogether.

Totally untrue. I jumpseat quite a bit and I can't tell you how many pilots don't even know the names of any of the regionals. You work for who? "You look like an Airways guy...etc. etc." Being a $@#! Trumpet at a major about which regional someone worked for would only be a target for said trumpeteer. Stupid is as stupid does though...play on.
