Yeah EMB145s
What a waste of money and resource @ Piedmont. Employees and their family's life's over at envoy. Why in the hell would AA place 20 Erj 145s at Piedmont when you have so many airlines that already operate the type? ExpressJet and TSA are getting 15 each they should have just given them 25 each. 20 aircraft just to get piedmont to a concessionary contract. WHAT A WASTE. If they can get the 145s up and running in a year WHY not the 40 E175? Piedmont is always behind the power curve. UNFREAKING believable....

Now, by definition, how is any Piedmont or for that matter PSA pilots a scab then? Was Eagle striking and nobody knew about it?
I'm not proud or happy that my pilot group voted in the TA and have no problem telling people I voted no against it but it did give us improvements and job security that we didn't have this time last year. I've yet to come across anybody who is happily gonna fly the 145s.
Welcome to the wholly owned poker game Eagle. You're no longer the only player. Piedmont is just playing the hand we've been given.

The majority of your peers are morons, then.
Misusing "scab" diminishes the true meaning of the word...
