Well I met alot of eagle pilots and not one has ever mentioned that they were remotely upset, so I can't see how the pilots at TSA did anything wrong. I just don't see it as the same situation.

Thats a BS statement. I work for Eagle and everyone over here was and still is ****ed at TSA. You are doing our flying and to add insult to injury you are doing it in our airplanes. Eagle was the only regional to comply with APA's scope clause while AMR found loop holes to farm out our flying to the lowest bidder. Now your own company is doing the same to you with Go Jets. You might even call it karma.

when are you people going to realize that bashing each other, whether it be on the ramp, the radio or a message board is what get's screwed over
in the first place?

scabs.... get a f#$%ing life! there are no scabs. this is a concept invented by a bunch of idiots that were ****ed off at something and had no other way to deal with it, than creating some imaginary group to alienate the people they didn't agree with.

and the fact that some still use that shows the level of ignorance in our industry. most don't even understand the meaning but they use it, because "everybody else does".

well ain't that great.

whether you work for a regional, fractional, major or 135m there is one thing you need to realize: WE ARE ALONE! ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER!

if we start bashing each other then we can might as well give up.

whenever you morons decide to accept this fact you will realize that the reason we overworked and underpaid in this country compared to the rest of the world is beacuse we are all self centered and self serving. we don't think as a group but as individuals.

there are people that would give anything to be in our shoes.

the fact that they go get a job with an airline that torqued you a little bit makes them scabs???? maybe you should stop for a minute and think back to when you were an aspiring "airline pilot".
which testicle would you have given for a right seat job then.....

just a thought.

ugh, this was on another thread, but I'll address it again. They are not the same situations at all. TSA was an already existing company who won flying from American for being a lower cost operator. You can be mad at AMR for putting it out there, but don't be mad at TSA for winning the flying. AMR didn't suddenly create TSA and hire all new pilots to fill a TSA seniority list in order to circumvent an Eagle contract. It's not the same situation!




The general idea here is that if we all stick to together as regional pilots then suddenly our life would be better. That sounds an awful lot like a union, and the pilots at GoJets made a point of skrewing over the Trans States pilots. People call them names and stuff because we DO want to stick together, and they didn't! And while they don't technically qualify as scabs, that's close enough in my book.

You cannot logically blame the pilots for taking jobs to feed their families, be mad at the company. Its like finding your wife with another man and being more mad at the other man than your wife. Place blame where it is due, with the company and then move on if you don't like it. Nobody is stopping you. A company will do what is necessay to maintain profit margins and to fit whatever business profile that the investors / owners wish...right or wrong. Welcome to the business world. Business is business people, get over it or risk being a very bitter old (wo)man. The glory of our free society is that you can go work wherever you want, and the good comanies will take care of their own if they want to keep them. Eventually, the "bad" companies will be weeded out. Attrition is expensive in more ways than one.

Just my 2 or 10 cents

Good luck jumpseating anywhere, and yes we can tell, as soon as you flash your license and the CRJ type is on there.

I agree....TSA pilots backstabbed American Eagle Pilots by taking their Upgrades as well as getting hired at 16.50 an hour to fly Eagle's routes in Eagle's airplanes.

They are getting theirs as they have so justly deserved...hope you are a TSA pilot Sanchez.
