No, our current active pilots use the same pathetic excuse yours does. The difference is, we walk off, and you will gain from it (one sided). You walk off and the entire profession would have benefitted.
We shall see what Bedford does. Does he have the brazenness to put those 2 190's on the Midwest certificate and fly it without "connect" on the side, a clear contract violation of the current Midwest CBA? Or does he slap connect on the side and allow his RAH henchman to continue doing his dirty work for him. I'll find out on 8/1.
speaking of excuses...you have one for everything.
