I'm not really understanding why you think regionals had leverage.
Mainline making profits does not give us leverage.
"No one can staff" has been proven to be 100% false.
Where exactly did our leverage come from? I especially am interested in where leverage comes from at a wholly owned regional.
If we had said no the acft would've gone to Mesa....again. After what has happened at Eagle how can you think that AAG didn't have the capacity to put the acft wherever they wanted?

I am a PSA pilot, I come to work do the best job I can and have nothing to be ashamed of. I greet my peers with respect and enjoy providing the passengers and any jumpseater/non-reving pilot no matter the airline a safe flight to their destination. I respect the opinions of my peers, however I refuse to consider myself an outcast because I took a job. Some may call me a sell out, to those, I probably can't change their minds. I'm feeding my family on 85% less than the last place paid me, they are the ones that count in my life. I can't satisfy everyone, but rest assure everyone that occupies a seat on one of my flights will get the best I can do. I hope to see everyone in the regionals in a mainline seat SHORTLY!
This PSA bash fest is so 2014.

You're 100% right, this conversation is not worth continuing. Go back to your circle jerk party where the only ones who don't see what PSA did as messed up are PSA pilots. And AAG did not transfer away aircraft at the drop of a hat, it was after repeated attempts at concessions in a time of record growth. If you cannot see the leverage that the industry had, then you're an idiot. All that leverage hindered on the different pilot groups not undercutting each other (which strangely enough, PSA agreed to but did not go through with.)
And please...don't fool yourself into thinking that nobody knows who PSA is or what you did. You're only doing a disservice to those who are new to the industry with a scarlet letter now on their resume.
Gotta go fly my shiny CRJ, don't worry I'm keeping the seat nice and warm for you.

No Respect from me! or any of my peers.

You may live in your delusional world of "well I didn't vote for it" casting blame to someone else or rationalize it anyway you want. Just know that when people smile and wave to you in the terminal who aren't PSA pilots, they mostly likely want you to f off.

I'm waiting on IOE now and was just awarded CLT. Is reserve still looking like 3 months there? Anybody have any insight into how reserve life is in CLT? I'm contemplating crashing with family in OH just so I could hold a line and fly more. Then transfer down to CLT when I could hold a decent line.
