This will continue to happen until mainline guys recapture scope or we get a true Union not an association. They created the contractor structure and cant be solved until thats removed.

The sad thing is all these regional pilots fighting for the scraps like wild dogs. This is exactly what's is best for the legacy management. Don't complain about the pay get the next job and say good buy to the regional for life attitude.

Vilcas nailed it. Sounds like most here want to stay at ExpressJet and Skywest forever.

Never read the railway labor act have you?

The outcome of this TA would have been the same at any of the regionals operating today. Given what the pilots at 9E were faced with there isn't a singal pilot group out there that would have voted this down. All of you stone throwers should be thankful that you weren't faced with making the same decisions these folks had to. I would hope to have seen more professional discussion about this topic about how the other pilot groups could try to take steps to avoid this from happening from you. But whatever guys and gals carry-on....continue to show the web board your maturity.

Hey you fly a CRJ? That's pretty cool man!

Excellent post. Perhaps the 9E pilots who in the past have thrown stones at mainline pilots for "selling scope" in BK, now understand its not so easy to "stick it to the man". I personally have not experienced BK, but I don't wish it on anyone. This should be a lesson for everyone. Until you've walked in their shoes......

Hey do you know where I can find any dignity? I'm on my way to wal mart and want to pick some up

I bet it's fast!
