Yes it's because all non-union pilots are idiots who can't read or write.

That's why I said "some"...complete with asterisks for emphasis. In all fairness, there are a lot of Union pilots who don't know their own contract either. If we could replace some of them with JetJocks we'd be better off.

Educate yourself.
I have all the education I need brother. At the end of the day, your contract (and mine) isn't worth the paper it is written on. Being here at Comair long enough has taught me that much and that it doesn't take much to have it ripped to shreds. Thanks! At the end of the day, like it or not, corporate America and big business will always win.

If our contract isn't worth anything then that explains why Skywest both publicly and in SEC filing announced that the deal would only go through with modifications to our contract, or why they have met with our Union twice to sell us on modifying it.

Of course....I think most of our industry is interested to see how this plays out, not just because the competitive landscape is changing, but also how (and if) a strong ALPA at a Regional (armed with a well written Scope clause) can leverage huge deal from going through or not.

Either way I truly wish you all the best and I you mean no offense, this is just reality.

Oh Yeah???????????? Don't think so pal

And you can stop this how?

Oh............Yeah............you're SuperSaab. LOL

Saab I know you understand that you can't protect flying that isn't yours, much like XJT was defenseless when RAH came to town they will be defenseless when SKW or someone else rides in.

Don't take offense, it's just reality.
