Anyone between year 12-18 now will not get longevity pay increases from current rate, only contractual raises. It's basically a B-scale for anyone who is not at year 18 pay already ($99/hr).
Still sounds higher than Endeavor, it could have been worse.

That is my 2 cents.
Agree 100% but you are preaching to the most disgruntled and most entitled group of regional pilots in the whole world. Trust me, the normal guys out on the line might not be happy with what PSA did but 95% will be professionals.

Yes first year guys operate under the same cba as the rest of us, but theyre on probation and can't vote on anything union. Cant remember if they pay dues or not.

No union dues during probation.

I agree with the crying eagle pic. Sigh.

PSA guys and gals have never been more divided. We don't need the "outsiders" to remind us. We've got enough name calling and mud slinging going on in our private forum that it's really sad. And we use our real names in our forums, not the anonymous cheap shots that some of you keyboard warriors are typing up while laughing just to stir stuff up.

40% of us voted no knowing that if this TA fails then PSA will most likely be non existent in 5-6 years. Which is very likely. Ask PDT guys. Our 200's aren't that much shinier than their dashes. If anything, their dashes are more economical.

So what does the 40% guys and gals get for possibly throwing out our careers to stand up for what's right? Jumpseat denial threats and name calling. Even a go jets guy is poking fun at us which I found hilarious. Real supportive guys.

PSA has lowered the bar across the regional industry. But this experience also proved that the rest of you are just as selfish and non supportive and immature. So good luck with that STW movement which I've fully supported until now being disgusted by many of you.

Well, lived a shunned existence at PSA then doesn't matter to me anymore. You guys are what 400ish pilots that ****ed off 12,000+ish pilots seems like your lives are gonna be pretty miserable to me because not only are you banned I don't want to even be around you guys.

i wouldn't be to sure about that, sure the casm might be better on paper initially, but i think our mtc costs and the associated delays/cnx are making them less attractive

pilots are our own worst enemies, not all of us are that short sighted though
unfortunately, you're going to get lumped in with that other 61% because there's no way to make the distinction and its obviously a very emotional issue, not saying its right, especially the js war baloney

Maybe its time to rethink preferential hiring too. Do we really want all these Endeavor and PSA pilots coming here and polluting our list with a track record of voting yes to massive yet needless concessions?

1. At least Endeavor was in bankruptcy with a judge's gun to their heads. PSA is good old fashioned predatory bargaining.

2. Why are they stupid? Because ALPA said so?
