Taking back the flying has always been an objective of ours.
We already are told that soon every single Eagle pilot will have job rights here. If we are getting you anyway; shouldn't we take back the flying too?

People with quals like yours use us to get currency and bail for a better job ASAP. Costing the company a lot of money and time. Not that I blame you, I'd do the same thing.
I've seen a bunch of military guys come through lately doing this.

5- interest pilots to leave their current regional, leading to lack of staffing, therefore route vulnerability which can be taken advantage of
6- solidarity
7- Want to be the biggest? Have to be the biggest.
8- for once be proactive not reactive to changes in the industry.
Just a few off the top of my head.

To Mason I would respectively suggest, that if you want those large planes on property then looking to the future and not to the past is in the best interest of both pilot groups. Otherwise it's business as usual regardless if Eagle stays around in the future or not.

It would still be great to see any 175 on AA property not a regional's. But I highly doubt that will happen.

Or just wait for RJ Pilot. Next truck stop he will inform you with concrete numbers from his "source."
