There's a reason I don't come to this site anymore. It's the same people saying the same thing over and over again. I'd love to see what would happen if CAL loosened up scope and allowed XJET to fly 170's. I don't think you would sound so holier-than-thou.

I've read up on the RLA and yes you had opportunities in the past before all this happened. If you're asking when can you strike now? Well you can't the cow's already out of the barn.

Hey duck, when can we strike? Study the RLA. Tell our fine former Neg Com Chairman whose now helping the IBT with your negotiations about our scope clause. He'll send you "7 letters in 7 days" about unity and integrity and all that BS.

I vote for Christian Bale to help our negotiators! Just have him go off on Seabury like he did on that lighting director.

This is reason number 343 about why SCOPE is SO important!!

I know a couple Republic pilots and it would kill them to know they were replacing mainline jobs. What are they going to do? Quit? They, just like most pilots at RAH and every other regional, are just using RAH as a stepping stone to build time and move on.

like i said, it doesnt have to be a strike to get things noticed. They cant arrest everyone if they decide to get the swine flu around the same time Just saying...

Its either DO nothing and watch the rest of the jobs get flushed or do SOMETHING while they still can.
