Voting in our agreement bought us time to move on. It takes a while to be hired at at Delta, United, American, etc. Our agreement is around a year old and the first guys to get on through the SSP are just now leaving. If we would have shut down many of us would have been forced out instead of getting on with Delta.
My advice is to get out of the regionals as soon as you can.
Says the guys gladly flying 15 of our 900's around.
Voting in a contract that still paid me $100,000 last year and bought us some time versus the street, comparable to crossing a picket line?
Union 101: the guys screaming the loudest about full pay to the last day are always the first to cross.
Weren't the mesa's 900's first, then pinnacles, before they were "yours"? Yeah I thought so! Don't even try to weasel your way out of it either because when I was furloughed from XJT I was hired at Pcl and my class cancelled because those planes went to Mesaba, then I was hired at Mesaba and my class cancelled when the planes went to ASA. News flash those are Deltas planes and they are flown by who delta wants!
Another thing it is the likes of people like you that will cross a picket line to save your "$100,000 a year job"! Not the 3,399 pilots at XJT that just held the line.
Comair took a stand as well. No one can seem to understand that regionals have zero leverage, get out while you can. I agree that the next offer will be less. How many 50 seat jets does express jet have compared to 70 seaters ? That is not a good sign.
