CAL-UAL Anti-RJ Proposal

[whatitdoing?]

This isn't the majors against the regionals/regional pilots, this is putting the jobs back at mainline. Those of us already here might see quicker upgrades those that aren't here can get hired at the mainline airlines which would have more leverage. This is about the long term career of all pilots regional, mainline, flight instructors and student pilots, any one who wants a career not just a job. Please dont turn this into we are doing this to hammer the pilots at the regionals on the contrary I think in the long run it gives them a better future.

As far as a dollar short and a day late and hoping we get are butts handed to us on that all I can say is better late then never. Maybe our generation can prove what we said is true about the gummers that we want to leave it better for those who follow instead of continuing to light the bridge on fire at our heals and run like hell when we get ours.

You're absolutely right. This isn't us vs. them issue. It's taking back a management tool for outsourcing that has destroyed so much. It'll bring wages up, security up, and long term careers back into the picture.

Go get em boys! USAPA stands behind both pilot groups in their quest to restore what ALPA gave away!

As long as your regional date of hire is behind their major date of hire, right nic, because that is everything.

Yeah, Skippy said the spirit strike will fail. He likes to spend time on his knees in front of management.

Yeah, USAPA stands in the back of the pack intending to take whatever credit can be obtained from picking at the scraps. USAPA isn't a union, it's a social club for East pilots. What a joke. Oh...and stop hijacking other threads.

United and Continental pilots, best of luck in the days ahead. Learn from the mistakes of the (continuing) USAIR debacle. Divided, you will fail.

I'm LOVING IT. Give us back OUR FLYING from the likes of express jet, BLOWJET, ASA, SKYWEST, Colgan, ********************aqua, Republic, SHuttle America, Mesa, and any of the other "Vendors" that enjoy our routes at our expense. Popcorn is popping this is going to be a great show!

Dude- that's an ignorant sentiment- you need to stop chatting w/ the 5-10% crowd on FI
there might be some lifers that would resist this- but the vast majority at regionals would be elated to have rj's under the tent at the majors again.

Finally some LEADERSHIP out of ALPA-
and some leverage-= pro union NMB-
don't be so quick to wish for Obama as a 1 term president.

Very well said.

This is what delta/nw should have done and did nit consider. Or did not consider possible.
