I don't work as a pilot at a regional, as a matter of fact I'm only a fresh commercial pilot. But I did work in station management for a long time, and nothing good came from denying jumpseats.
The envoy pilots will one day need a PSA jumpseat, there is probably Envoy crews that use PSA at this very moment to go home and see their families.
Also think of newly hired Envoy and PSA pilots who have no bone in the fight because they are brand new to the industry. Are they at fault too? Of course not, people need to go home, and see their families, why would you take that away from someone?

To date I have denied 11 jumpseats to PSA pilots. I even bid to make sure I fly into their hubs just in the hopes of having such an occasion. Don't play the "get home to families" card on us. You raped Eagle and the rest of the industry once already and just did it again today. The joy I derive in giving a little of it back to you scumbags is boundless.
What airline you work for? You tough enough to tell us. Captain Tough

Did you get hit one too many times in the head as a third string QB? What community college has a football team? You must be from Texas.

Don't count on it, I don't commute. However I'll be sure to poke my head up and say "Thanks for the ride guys" after listing as a nonrev in the back.

I have been at Eagle for 20+ years. PSA is not the first selfish airline I have seen in my time. Nothing I enjoy more than looking each one of you in the eye and saying "no jumpseat available for PSA". So yeah.. I am Captain tough guy you selfish little stain on the industry.

We can check that in RES and know you're coming before you show your scumbag heads. Nice try, figure out a new tactic on the walk home.

"The real sad part is when one of your substandard hires makes CA, and forms a whole substandard crew, and puts one in the dirt, the media will associate us all the same. Rest assured, it will happen."
This is something we should ALL be concerned over, it has the potential to have 10x the impact of Colgan.
Substandard new hires, paired with substandard barely 1,000 hr 121 captains with as little as 12-18 months of real experience has disaster written all over it.
