Sure, when you guys vote yes and become just one number above pinnacle.
My buddy there says a lot of people jumping and celebrating new planes. But for what will you guys give away? Pay? Benefits?
Are you guys will lower the bar for planes? Or are going to stay strong? All the regionals need us, there's no time for concessions...

All I tell you is that they did not negotiated pay raises or benefits.
Concessions will hurt everybody that are in negotiations for a new contract.
You guys need to draw the line in the sand and get your brothers at PDT do the same. Only that way we (Eagle/PSA&PDT) will make them show their real cards.
AA and USAir made huge profits last quarter. They have money to pay us, so stand proud.

What's so special about 727 time? Or 135 time? There's nothing wrong with it but it's really no different than RJ time.
People need to stop thinking in terms of what airplane people fly. It really doesn't matter. What matters is where the decimal point lies on your paycheck.
Having flown a 727 entitles nobody to anything. And I don't think the OP was feeling that way.
A buddy of mine with thousands of hours of SIC time on MD-11s in Europe (holding US and JAA ATP certs) was told by Delta in an interview that he had no PIC time in the airline world and was told to pound sand. He felt entitled of course because of his MD-11 time.
We need to stop differentiating 'mainline' and 'regional' equipment and stop fetishizing anything made by Boeing, Airbus or McDonnell-Douglas.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I think you meant "comma" but I still agree with you bro.

Commair was a different story. There was a surplus of pilot pool. Right now there's a lot less people with the qualifications to be hired. Just with the ATP minimums rule and FTDT rules, they need us.
Commair drew the line in a strike
