Nooooo....
Siad pilot group would then
a) Organize and demand higher compensation, backed up with the threat of strike which would shut down ALL of that major's feed, or
b) Merge with the mainline pilot group and demand even higher compensation.

lets see, delta forced pinnacle into bk by withholding payments and forced them to cancel there contracts with other mainlines and delta has raped comair taken it down to where it is to shut down. so which group is it better to work for again, not owned or owned.

Come on guys/gals, you're labor; you've given up control of your careers by becoming pilots. This is business, nothing personal. It’s what has happened time after time and occurs in every industry in the world.
All this flying we do as subcontractors (regionals) belongs to mainline, don’t like it? Get out, find something new. Become your own boss, move on.
