Sigh. It's funny, but if you read the threads on this board long enough, you begin to see a lot of repetition. Same old stuff, different topic.
Basically, I'm seeing nearly the exact same people who claimed we'd never get a decent contract, management would never meet our demands, we were way out of line with our actions to get our contract, and that our new local was corrupt and didn't really have our (the pilots') best interests at heart, now spouting the same crap along the lines of you guys are dreaming if you think management can't make an end run around your stupid scope clause, the union will have surprisingly little power to enforce anything, and my absolute favorite: my source can beat up your source!!!
Sheesh! Don't you doomsayers ever get tired of being so negative? IF we ever get airline equipment (beyond our present BBJ's), it WILL be flown by pilots on the NJA seniority list. Heck, I remember a time when certain people were so SURE that the BBJ's would go to NJI. That turned out to be really accurate, huh?
I could care less about flying 75's or 76's. I enjoy the "small iron" and don't care to roam the globe for 3 or 4 weeks at a time away from my family, so personally I could care less who flys them. but we have pretty ironclad scope and a local union that doesn't sit on its hands when it looks like the rules are being broken.
Besides, when the planes show up on the ramp, painted in our colors, and laoding pax for the first trip, I'll believe the "sources" that say we're getting them.
