When has pilots taking paycuts/concessions ever saved a company?
how about UAL, NWA, USAir for a few, Bank Ruptcy always produces pay cuts/concessions to save a company.

One could argue that none of these companies have been "saved" since none of them exist as stand alone companies as they did prior to their bankruptcies. The bankruptcy in and of itself was not enough.
 
What a mess... good luck to those at 9E. Don't let them take your soul... think I saw that in the fine print as well. I know a log of 9E guys are bailing for anything they can find. A sidestep to another regional might not be a bad idea. XJT, CommutAir, SkyWest are all hiring as well as some others... hopefully with majors hiring soon, it won't be but a short stop at another regional before moving on.
 
I was talking to some fellow pilots the other day and they shook their heads at those who will be leaving for the likes of JetBlue.... I would go there in a heartbeat and deal with the Commute. Better anywhere than here. What they are proposing is worse than Go Jets, Mesa-all the bottom feeders. But given our corrupt Judicial system the judge will allow it and not allow us any work actions.

I had some fellow pilots turn their noses up asking why I was leaving Mesaba for jetBlue. The email you just received is the reason why. It was obviously going to happen sooner or later after 9e bought XJ. You cant afford to be picky at this point, go anywhere, even to so called second tier airlines like Spirit and jetblue. They will all be astronomically better than the s*it storm that is 9E. I wish you guys the best.

Wrong, we can collectively give T.W. a significant (I know it would never be everyone) stack of resignation letters to hand the judge effective the moment a forced contract is awarded.
