Yup.. CPA asked me if I only worked 60 months this year or something...

Most of my FOs made more money than me last year...

The golden handcuffs of the flow are a curse this last year here.

That’s gotta make a Pilot happy when you work like a fool and someone think you took half the year off because of the pay...

But the guys at psa at the time were supposed to say no as it was an “idle threat” even though American had proved it wasn’t, and lose their jobs so everyone else could hope for a few more $$$ in their pocket. 🙄

Don’t forget, Envoy did lose a bunch of pilots after it was all said and done because they “stood strong”. PSA would have ceased to exsist if they hadn’t taken the deal.

Look at you guys, you’d do it again wouldn’t you?

So it's better to stab other pilots in the back than lose your job? Not seeing the argument here. Personally I'd rather start over with a new seniority number than vote for what PSA did.

spoken like a true a hole

yea go ahead and blame pilots who have mortgages and kids who need health care instead of blaming daddy for whip sawing and mainliners for selling scope

must be sad to be of such limited intelligence that you can't see the forest for the trees

undercutting is the basis of capitalism. Hi. Welcome.

what may be even sadder is thinking that envoy even had a chance of winning. if it wasn't psa it would have been tsa or whoever. what you fail to realize is the jets that they already own that went to psa would have went somewhere and not envoy see above for where the 175s went for example...

People use the same argument to justify crossing picket lines...

We're not talking about picket lines. Nice try on a red herring though.

This imaginary "brother" pilot is supposed to stand strong for him so that he can put a few extra dollars in his pocket.

When the shoe is on the other foot however and the same "brother" is staring down a possible bankruptcy and children going without health care then the supposed answer is "eff him he can start over somewhere else".

Don't be ridiculous. You only pretend to be a "brother in arms" when it benefits you.

They don’t have to come here. I’ll enjoy my 3x pay and 150k per year while it’s available [emoji18]

Are the majority of those who voted yes gone? Sure. They left an airline that quadrupled in size, on flow dates years earlier than Eagle guys, because of a choice they made. (Sure, it's the Dougie school of negotiations to play hardball, got it.). So, it may be a largely new airline, but there are long memories on how that airline got to be. Especially when Eagle guys see airplanes they flew op by PSA, or fly on shiny new CRJ-900 Next Gens op by PSA.

Lets get back to PDT discussion, which is the point of this thread anyway.

The 900's are really nice.
