Oh yeah, I know. Eagle will shrink no matter what, thats why we have to be strong and keep the line. Nobody will get furlough...

Just terminated and proud of doing so.

Stay strong and vote NO. Send a message to all other regionals out there.

To Mason and any other person "in the know."

It doesn't matter what the facts are. Because perception is reality. Over the last couple years, the pilot group has been lied to or misdirected by both management and the union. This is deplorable. There are also a lot of half-truths spoken or written, so as to give an illusion of credibility. It had become difficult to sort reality with expectations and I think this is intended.

The consequence is there is very little credibility from anyone in a superior position. Even our LEC reps claim to have been misinformed, so their words can not be trusted even if they are trust worthy people.

How can you rely on promises if even basic contractual language is disregarded? As far as the original post? Seek the most reputable outfit. It's better for you psychologically.

ALPA needs to get its house in order. And management deserves no respect.

Making decisions based on innuendo and promises is irresponsible. Take opportunity as it presents itself.

Not all of us feel this way. Please know you're getting a lot of support and encouragement from other groups. But yes, there will always be short-sighted individuals who's mama's didn't teach them to put themselves in other people's shoes.

This is correct. The Eagle leadership is getting help from places nobody would expect. It'll be public soon enough. I'd expect the company next to threaten to farm out the 47 CRJ aircraft and displace 300 Captains if their offer isn't accepted.

It's how they play the game. Trust me. To you guys this is your livelyhood and careers. To them it's a game of how much they can increase profit before the next round of golf next week.

I'm retiring in two years. I'll move along to the sidelines and somebody can have my seat watching the polar caps freeze over. It's been a great career. I'm into my golf game more now anyway. I'd just like to see pilots take our profession back from the bookworms before I retire. I'd also like to see my nephew have a clear future from Eagle. If I can pass a tidbit of info along from time to time, I will.

I hope the rumors of RAH acquiring us due to Garton being over there now are not true.

Thats a lot of CAs..:eek:

Why make a lateral move? JetBlue is hiring at 1500 hrs, Virgin at 2500, and Spirit at 4000. Apply to all three, you have nothing to lose.

I have, so far no calls. I'm hitting the job fair circuit this year as much as I hate it. The pay to play idea really bothers me but it is what it is.
