PSA/ALG/PDT recent small jet proposal?

[~~~^~~~]

SkyDiverDriver: My heart goes out to these guys. Their MEC's did everything they could to work the political angles within ALPA and got steamrolled anyway. Every minute that passes without adequate representation it becomes less likely that these careers will survive. By the time they wait around to "see how the RJDC's effort goes" all that will be left is a few MEC members and a committee for setting up a museum for what was their airline.

They already missed the time for being proactive - now they are in a reactive position. However, I wish them the best and we should do everything we can to help them get hired at our airlines. You have some good pilots and good ALPA members in their ranks...

Control ?

U needs at least some aircraft (rj's) at the WO. This is so they have some control over the feed. U learned this the hard way a few years back when Ransome told U to F_ck off and went with Pan Am. Thats why they bought Suburban and Pinhead airlines (now ALG) and jetstream (now PSA). Henson came w/ Piedomnt in 87 I believe.



BTW for any of you old guys or others who really know the industry I regret to inform you that J.D. Ransome passed away a few weeks ago at his home in FL.

As far as I know every pilot that ever flew for him liked working for him and held/holds his leadership/business style in high respect. He was/is truely a pilots' pilot and will be sorely missed.
