Someone that is willing to take a low paying job or pay cut at a company that is not on strike or not flying struck work is no where near being a scab.

I would rather leave on my terms as well, and my terms include keeping my pride.

We both will have a vote on a TA. Assuming significant concessions, my vote will be 'no.'

I agree on on this. He's not flying struck work, nor did he say he would. If he wants to leave and opt for something better, that's his deal.

Delta pilots were some of the first to sell out scope years ago, this is when "commuters" spawned into "regionals". Just imagine what life would be like if those pilots wouldn't have voted to sell out the bottom half of the seniority list and future pilots...

Now is the endgame and after ALPA tries to force feed us some BULLCRAP agreement in the next few days, the fate of all up and coming pilots and other regionals will be in the hands of the Pinnacle pilots. Unlike the Delta pilots of years ago, I will vote to restore this once cherished career. Hopefully, over 51% of 9E pilots will realize this is a very old and wounded dog that needs to be poisoned with lead.

Real easy to cast dispersions from the right seat of your ERJ. Which is ironic because you work for one of 4 companies

1. Eagle (Voted on concessions)
2. XJT (Voted on concessions)
3. Republic which basically match the above
4. TSA

The only thing you'll accomplish by being frightened by this scare tactic is cutting your own pay before they show you the door. You can either A) keep what you have until a judge takes it away and we close down, or B) voluntarily give it up and we close down anyway. Either way, the doors will be closing. Don't be naive.
Someone gets it...
