PSA for now, and whoever can do it cheaper when the time comes.

How is this new?

Play the long game. How long did the cold war last? Will there be immediate gratification for the eagle pilots? Probably not. What if RAH votes their TA down? That’s three large groups of us slowly doing what Airline’s have done, loosely colluding; taking advantage of weakness.

The time HAS come. The only airlines that would truly be able to handle this flying are those that trade (2 to 1, etc) aircraft for them. Who isn't having a hiring problem right now?

Thank you Eagle pilots.

Can I ask a favor? Every time you see an RAH pilot ask them if they voted "no" yet. I think we've canned this TA with a 70-30 but I would still like to see an EPIC Fail delivered to Bedford.

Damn right we do. We are proud of what we did and aren't afraid to tell anyone. Specifically to a PSA pilot and especially to the ones who said we'd cave too.

Lets' tone it down a bit folks.

Bottom line, eagle did real good and I hope they get some benefit out of this in the short term.

Really nobody. If furloughed, junior eagle pilots would presumably follow the jobs and SKW actually has pretty good training bandwidth for CRJ's (left over from 2005-2007). Especially if AMR (or whatever their new name is) has some CRJ sims they weren't using (SKW has done training in Dallas before). I'd guess up to maybe 20% of the flying could be absorbed pretty quickly by someone.

Either AMR is bluffing, or they are planning/willing to consolidate a lot of regional flying anyway.

Certainly some guys would apply to others regionals if looking for work. OTOH there is a large segment of AE that are like me- this is my last regional. Up or out. I'm too old to start over at the bottom of another regional and would either go to a major or back to corporate.
