Default And Then There Were Three

Endeavor to Delta.

Envoy to American.

Monkey see monkey do.

UAL not far behind.

Consolidating all the flying to one wholly owned regional with a promise of a job written in sand.

If this is the path, the continued strength and courage of the pilots who rejected concessionary agreements must grow into major gains in pay and work rules.

If you want to work at the legacy carriers, make the costs so close it makes no sense to run separate companies.

Thank you all for taking a stand.

Seems like they are following the "E" named carriers as the wholly owned.

Was something new announced? We've had our Mickey Mouse 35% flow since 2011 at Envoy and new hires only have a preferential interview.

This doesn't really make sense as a post. Talk to comair. Talk to eagle pilots. Look at what psa did.

As far as I know united doesn't own sh**t. So they have nobody to bulldoze.

Nobody can take a stand if people keep applying and working for regionals.

Let me retract, people that work for a less than stellar regional.

You have a point. Smisek is perhaps the worst airline CEO in history. But at some point having his regional feed collapse will be a problem. Perhaps UAL can have even bigger losses.

Not to defend places like PSA or Pinnacle by ANY means, but there is no such thing as a stellar regional.

You say that but folks on here have said some Envoy pilots are passing on their flow to American. I wish I was working so a nice job I turned down a position that had 10000 people applying. I am sure when they were new hires everyone was saying regional's aren't stellar get yours and get out. Its all about perception.
