Just heard from a guy that Parker wants to bring the B-scale to the regionals via Eagle and the King and his entourage are willing to discuss it. Since they're bailing soon, I guess they could care less if one MEC nukes the entire regional industry for the next decade or two. If a B-scale comes to Eagle, the other carriers will have no choice but to follow as they are either whipsawed out of their flying or can capitulate to sweatshop pilot compensation to keep it.
Never thought one MEC could sink the entire regional industry single-handedly, but it sounds like the King is up for it before he lights the fuse on his AA jet pack. I would think that all regional pilot groups would want to communicate to his highness how they feel about this issue.

I guess I made it sound like I work for Eagle, which I don't. Either way, pinnacle, go jetz, republik, or any other crap contract and pay scale are haunting negotiations at other regionals. If I was management I'd stick the bottom pay scales up our butts also. Did I mention its why as pilots we shouldn't ever vote in garbage?
