Clipper, Go on local if you can. If not, PM me. Dont worry about it though, there is a lot more going on then we know about and rumors are started and spread very easily throughout this company. Of course the mechanics want them it would be a lot more security for them. Also though and no disrespect intended, the mechanics and this company historically love to start rumors.
Dont think twice about any of this. It is what it is. If they come here for a reasonable pay rate then great. If they dont, then thats fine let republic have them. This issue goes a lot deeper then just upgrades and such at PSA. This is just my opinion but I think it will help up stop the flow of managment victories over pilot groups. Little by little if we can start making a stand then maybe it will catch on. Of course there are lots of people who think that it wont make a difference but I think thats the same as saying "my vote dosent matter" in a presidential election.
