You're confirming what I said you just don't realize it because you don't know what you're talking about.

And contracts get renewed. You're hiding behind semantics, I know you know what I mean.
Lordy!! Go complain and cry on other threads. You seem to want to police every thread.
Bottom line is PDT has a future and that's something we didn't have 2 years ago.
And maybe you should become a head shrink instead of a pilot.

Someone has to add some reality to the nonsense you can't seem to stop spewing

Its the reality of the flow, which is just a pyramid scheme really. The wholly owned have to do the hard sell, to get more pilots, so some can flow, so they can sell hard, to get more pilots, so more get to flow, so they can sell harder, to get more pilots, so they can keep flowing....ect. You can't blame the guy for trying.

What nonsense???? It's a fact! Parker wants 3 regionals the same size. He probably wanted to keep AWAC but when he shoved a low ball bid they said 'no thanks' just like they did with United.
Don't hate the players hate the game.

Probably the stupidest thing you've said. By this logic it's perfectly acceptable for pilot groups to vote in substandard contracts, cross picket lines, fly for alter egos, pick up open time while guys are on furlough etc etc.

The "game" can suck, but it is directly proportional to how the "players" play it. Don't be so naive.

You need a bean bag and some Doritos. This is how the regional has always been since I've been here. From 100 planes to 35!! Nobody cared when we held the line. Yes it sucks!!
It's a game!!! And your ALPA dues help pull the strings.

For the life of me, I still can't begin to understand why anyone would be happy to get a few beat up, old, 50 seat ERJ's. It just doesn't make any sense. They are outdated little airplanes that will be in the desert in the next few years.
