American to Shrink Regional Carrier
 
American Air to Shrink Regional Carrier After Pilots Reject Contract - WSJ.com


So hopefully the pilots will go to other regionals that pickup American routes.

PS - SORRY - I just checked the link and it looks like the WSJ wants some $$$ to view the article.

Right, I just expected more from WSJ.

and this is exactly why we need pilots to stand united INDUSTRY wide so that no matter who the flying goes to the pilots still get paid what they are worth. This fight is not just Eagles or RAH's or Expressjets, its EVERYONE'S.

No, hopefully the pilots do NOT go to other regionals that provide feed for AAG. We need to make this hurt as much as possible, if we leave Eagle we need to either go to the majors or failing that go to regionals that do not provide feed for AAG.

This lets the pilots know that much earlier what AAG's priorities are and what they are willing to sacrifice for it.

BizPilot' sorry for saying this but how stupid are you.
The pilots at eagle said no to there TA so they can just go and help AAG maintain there feed as a new hire at one other company (which is worse than eagle) that bids for the flying eagle did.

I'm sure you meant well however.......... Why would you want an FO making 40 or 50k to go to another regional and make half of that already pathetic wage? Management counts on this.

I for one would rather quit this ridiculous industry that take a massive pay cut for the same job elsewhere or even at my present employer. The legacies are making huge profits and executives are raking in massive bonuses. Why should any of us do the job for less? The cost of training is prohibitive for most would be pilots. Even the ones with access to the cash still have to wait until they get 1500 hours just to work for $20,000 dollars a year. I would say the ball is in our court as much as it ever has been or maybe ever will be. Concessions make no sense.
