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...

100% this... they forget the fact at first with the 175s, aa told them what the final offer was. Soooo they sent the airframes to compass. Psa shot down the contracts initially for the 900s, and on the third and final offer American said “do it or we will liquidate PSA over a 4 week period as you’re holding up the merger”... as told to me by former chief pilots who have since flowed.
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. 🙄

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.

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...

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.
