There's another term for that. Half-azzzed.

In fact, that should be the motto for the regional industry.

The way that went.. I'd give it about a 80% chance of canceling anyway. It will be just about right for what we are used to around here. Give regional pilots a glimmer of hope, then take it away and stomp on it. Repeatedly.

I like your style. But don't sell out for less though. That would be very "regional" of you.

PSA will take all the slots, they will offer to work for United with 4yr pay caps and increased healthcare costs.

For those that did actually get the site to load and go through the process, what were the dates other than aug 13 and 14?

If you REALLY knew how that was negotiated, you'e realize that you don't know what you don't know.

It wasn't "jets 4 jobs", that was at USAir.

But the rest of what you said was spot on.

Sure is nice to see a mainline MEC looking out for their regional brothers and sisters.

If ALPA was really looking out for its members, shouldn't they have not agreed to relax scope and send their pilots to the bottom of a regional seniority list?
