I can't help but conclude that with that outlook on life, you'll remain a "loser" regardless of what occurs in it. In all sincerity, how could anyone take your advice or validate your perceptions with that outlook ?

There's more to life then being a pilot for a legacy airline. If that is anyone's only litmus as to success, I think they're in pretty bad shape.

They've also made it very clear that the Embraers are also leaving. The only question was and is: how many E-175s Eagle will get. And the answer that that question will be determined when (and if) a CBA is reached.

MIA would not have closed, that's where some of the 175s were going, I agree that the company had made that statement with the CRJs.

The last deal was killed because of Igou and Kyle, sorry to burst your bubble.

I chose to leave the industry as I don't want to wait a decade to get to a legacy, those who are staying in the industry would be better off having that safety net though.

Nevets a contract does not make you immune to economics. Unions harm companies and workers by holding on to that belief. If a company is going to have to pay more for health coverage they will pass that cost to the employees or the customers. In the airline industry ticket prices are quite rigid, most fare increases do not stick, therefore that cost will hit the employees one way or another. I am willing to bet on the free market and I expect that health care prices on the exchanges will decrease as insurance providers compete for subscribers. Why not give the company something that you can mitigate in other ways and gain something in the trade off?

Good luck with your online crusades guys, I hope it works out the way you want it to.
