Goodbye 717, Hello E190

As far as I am concerned, these guys should be glad their company isn't just shutting its doors. Therefore, if they are stapled to the bottom of the list (which is exactly what should happen) they should be grateful just to have a job. Why should the RAH guys be penalized by losing seniority because this company was failing and were bailed out?

I guess it is up to them - is it worth it to get paid a little less and still have a job, or just walk away because they have to much pride to fly a "small" jet. Give me a break...

You have a lot of learning to do if you think you're guaranteed anything by paying dues.

Your CEO (soon to be mine) may know the price of everything but he knows the value of nothing. You can't "buy" a sevice culture and morale really does mean something. A fact that the MBA bean counters will never understand, although there is one that once said "You CAN make a pizza so cheap that no one will eat it".

On another side note, the F9 work rules are some of the best in the industry. They can manipulate their schedules in ways you only dream about. That is why their rates are lower then CAL, SWA, JB
