I think a lot of it is for lack of a worse term. The s-word really no longer applies as strikes at airlines are so much more difficult and unlikely - look how long it took Spirit to strike or how long ago RAH voted to authorize a strike and they are no closer to walking the line.

For now, most people are content with using "PSA" - as in "I hope that they do not PSA us" - think the scene from Robin Hood Men in tights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFXNsHC0jck

The world evolves so does the definition of the word.

New generation scab means someone who gave into concessions but still makes industry leading salary and QOL (still pathetic pay for what we do). I hope Envoy votes no again after being so vocal about PSA and PDT taking concessions. Then again they might vote it in this time and blame us for leaving them no choice.

Who knows if ENY will concede or not... But thanks to PSA/PDT, the bar continues to lower.

Soon enough 737's, A320's etc will be flown for $25/hr.

Great career.

I'd say this has about a 1,000% chance of happening.

Edit: 10,000%

I'm really tired of ignorant people throwing out this worthless argument. It's pretty pointless and not ever going to happen.

How solid is the agreement that all of those 700s are coming to PSA? In their growth calendar all of those are listed as "possible". People could go there for the upgrade and not have it happen because those actually stay with Envoy.
