Yup. Because apparently we have a horrible contract according to PSA accusers.

And isn't it amazing how 400 pilots' vote screwed 18,000 regional pilots. Never mind I meant 240 pilots' yes vote. Get real.

I understand what you mean. BUT if they're looking for any regional to match PSA's contract, then you should agree and get PSA's exact contract! Not just the pay caps but also the SAP and critical pay!

At a minimum, of 10.5 pilots per aircraft, they'll need 1344 pilots by mid-2016. Which leads me to my questions:

1) How many pilots does PSA currently have on their roster?
2) How many pilots have they managed to hire so far, in 2015?
3) How many pilots is PSA losing per month: to US/AA Mainline, other airlines/corporate jobs, retirements, and washouts?
4) How many upgrades per month?
5) What is the most junior Captain's DOH?

No but had the company asked for SAP for new aircraft none of you loud mouths would say a word. However that was left untouched and the pilots there thought the benefit of a larger fleet and career progression in conjunction with keeping such a valuable tool was worth a 12/4 cap and guaranteed pay raises for 10 years......

But hey they all should apologize right? They have a good contract for a regional, growth, and movement. Sounds awful.
