Why should they. If it's to raise pilot compensation that's not the way it works. If pilots don't like how much they are paid they know where to find the door. Mass exodus of pilots do to poor wages leads to results. Anything else, well you know the rest...........

There is a shortage of pilots at the regional level and they still want concessions. Guys are leaving, for some reason management doesn't think supply and demand applies to this industry though.

Well management is asking for concessions as a way to get flying from the majors but if you can't staff the flying then it's a moot point. Don't work at a regional that doesn't pay you what you think is fair. If you work there do your level best because you have agreed with that company that the compensation is right. When supply truly falls short of demand the regional airlines will be forced into raising compensation.

From: Hot tub for now
There are the PSA pilots of the industry who cut the legs out from other groups. They think their actions exist in a vacuum and can't see the long term effects if their actions. All in exchange for 12 additional interviews at mainline, some new aircraft and the promise that they are growth and not replacement.
The few senior pilots were very good at scaring the younger ones into voting yes. Coupled with the FACT that our MEC said specifically that Airways would close down PSA unless a yes vote.
Now it's eagles turn. Enjoy the games.
PSA is having a heck if a time trying to staff the current airframes. There is no way they can find 400 additional pilots. Management has degraded this industry so much and it's showing. What I don't get is that they want even more. They just don't get it.

I'm pretty confident it won't even get to a pilot vote unless something drastically changes in the proposal. They threatened to shut us down also by the way.
