Not really, but thats how things are going. My guess is that something will be pulled together in the 11th hour.
Our leverage is money. I don't know why so many guys seem confused about this. TSA makes Hulas money. Hulas likes money. Hulas needs money to expand GoJet. Shutting down TSA quickly hurts Hulas. We still have that leverage. If we don't use that leverage now, its going to be shut down slowly.

Its too bad you guys cant see.
The industry is too volatile for a strike!
You'll be shooting yourself in the foot, noone will pay attention, or get the sense of what you are trying to do.You will be seamrolled by united, as most of your flying has a better chance of going to gojets or any other UAX carrier as they will just move whatever flying they need covered over to whoever can take it.But good luck anyway.
Just remember Monday June 15th!-We'll see you out on the line!

(Not to mention that, really, now might be the best time for something like that... After the colgan accident, the public just might be able to get behind a pilot group fighting for fair compensation, safer work rules, and job security.)

When the going is good Hulas makes a TON of money on AX at risk flying. This flying is not something the Eagle guys can whine about because if Hulas is creating a route or frequency that was not there, it was never "their flying" (nor was the TWE routes, but thats a different story)
Why do you guys think Hulas bent over backwards to keep the relationship open with the ground contract, etc? He wants to do at-risk flying for AX when things turn around. Plus, one codeshare partner is VERY risky, he'd prefer to diversify his portfolio.

BringDaFunk, best laugh I've had in a while!
Read post 26, cause I really don't feel like typing it out again. It'd be really helpful if before you wrote all in bold and caps and 168 font if you'd read the other arguments in the thread. The main one being that, well, a strike probably won't happen and thats not at all our goal, even though we are willing to.

Keep fighting the good fight, TSA'ers.
Remember: We are TWICE the pilots HALF the pay.
