Or try "Ronald Reagan air traffic control strike"! The issue is not Democrats vs. Republicans.
The issue is that NMB is controlled by the president and until we get a new one (one who is sympathetic to labor) no pilot group will be given authorization to strike and nothing will chance.

I dont totally buy that.. what can they do if No Pilots show up for work for 3 days..... its not like the ATC during the President Reagan era.. they just cant go out and get Millitary Pilots to fly for all the airlines, and even if they could Last time I checked we are at war and the Ops Tempo of the Military is too high to take on anything new, how ever it will never happen because their are always people out there who are selfish and would work for peanuts.. speaking of peanuts... when you pay your work group peanuts you will get a circus...{Mesa, Colgan, Gojets}

Take a pill buddy. Yeah XJT is great and i'm very happy to be where I am. But most if not all the people I know who work here all agree it could always be better. So take it like a man cause you sound like you wish you were here aswell. We need to unite so we can get a decent wage.

in other words, you support lowering the bar. i'd love to fly with you.
a regional is not a regional. mesa's standup overnights are not the same as a nice duty day at XJT or Skywest. that's like saying, a ford is a bmw.

you think it would be cool if CAL pulled flying from one of the higher paying regionals? sure, i bet you think its awesome to give business to cheapa$$ed companies like gojet and colgan. that's great for our profession.

For the record, Paok's post didn't say nor insinuate your presumed assumption AT ALL.
