Whoaaa!
Check your six, Gents.
In the first place, the US Airways MEC is at fault for what is going on at it's airline. They have stonewalled the RJ issue for years, and now it is biting them in the ass. As of today, they have only given relief for 70 RJs.
For years, the Airways MEC has bitched about how their management is myopic, and at least three years behind the times. Well, it should now be obvious to all that they suffer from the same disease. Their short-sightedness and strangling SCOPE language is choking them right into bankruptcy court.
All the WO subsidaries have asked the Airways pilots (make that pleaded with the Airways pilots) is that they be allowed to develop markets. Just develop them with regional jets. And when they grow enough to support main line jets, that they be allowed to move on to the next market. What is so complex about that? Instead of the Airways MEC following this simple logic, they chose to stonewall the entire RJ program... and shoot themselves in their collective feet in the process.
The Airways MEC deserves to get a taste of the fruits of their arrogance. Hopefully, their evolving history will stand as a monument to other pilot groups who consider engaging in similar selfishness. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT a wish to see anyone's family on the street.
Implying that I don't care about another pilot's family is the same pure American sound-bite crap that keept Jerry Springer on the air. Tittilate yourself all you want, the fact of the matter is that the Airways MEC has made their bed.
Let them lie in it.
