TSA SAT Flying given to G-Jets

[Aerosurfer]

I have no stake in this but it seems to me many regional airline pilots had no trouble taking flying away from United mainline flying on shorter routes keeping United pilots on furlough longer (SAT used to be a United 737), had no trouble flying AWAC routes for United at O'Hare when your management unbid AWAC, and now the same is happening to you and you cry injustice. Did a United or AWAC pilot ever turn you down for a jumpseat? Maybe they should have. Sometimes you need to look at the plank in your own eye before looking at the speck in your brothers eye.

That is a complete utterly useless post! The regionals on any level, didnt take flying from United. HELLO we are a connection for them....meaning United Decided to outsorce the flying to the new companies...and just as easily when it deems feesable (if ever) it will put a larger plane back on it!
IND-ORD used to be 757. The routes dont matter. The problem is not underbidding, it still gets bac to TSA management, that has an operable airline and offered SH!t wages to operate a 70seater. Instead of re-negotiating when the pilot group stood their ground, they created alter ego. and now the ones who cared about their job in the first place are getting screwed

Let me be the first to say, "Good bye Trans States Airlines."

Actually Aircobra's post is dead on. Also it's probably the reason you are still at a regional. You can look at Gjet which ever way you want to spin it. If it wasn't cheaper to use you guys or Gjet, United would still have mainline jets flying United routes.

Yeaaaaa baby!!!! Nice!

And AWAC is now doing a whole lot of USAirways flying. TSA is doing a lot less USAirways flying. Are you angry at AWAC for "stealing" AAA contract flying (which was "stolen" from PDT,PSA,ALG)? I'm not. More power to 'em.

I'd rather "lose" flying to AWAC than lose flying to GJ.

As for the Mainline/Regional peeing contest (...and who is stealing YOUR flying?), that has been debated ad nauseum.

You're right. In a perfect world all flying would be done by Mainline carriers, unfortunately this is not the case.

And would be completely out of business.
