The majors have nothing to do with our situation and I will never blame a major for what is going on at the regional level. By the way ALPA is here to represent you and your specific pilot group, that is why you pay your union dues. Will you really push hard? Just in case you didnt notice our contract negotiations can start less than a year from now. Better start thinking about how hard you are going to push.

I hope you figured this out three months ago when you were hired.

I totally agree with you. Those books should be considered required reading for any existing or aspiring airline pilot.

Umm no, that answer is contradictory. The current senior guys have pretty much sold scope down the river with all of the RJs. Good luck on trying to get that one back in shape. Remember back when NWA MEC was refered to as pit vipers. 'Cause they would strike at anything....looks like those guys are long gone.
