Would you go on strike?

With the announcement today of 60 plus layoffs at XJT and fa's getting offered half schedules next month looks as if something big is going to happen. I heard it is a prep. for Us air going under and mesa (or whoever flies reg. for them) is undercuting xjt by 35% to get CALs regional market. This will effect negotiations severly. But good luck this week on talks...

I agree with Bobby. The fact is that pay has little relationship to responsibility or aircraft difficulty. It is more a function of industry disfunction where seniority is king over productivity or talent. It is an entry level mentality where a job requirement should be the focus.

When I had a corporate flight department with Aztecs to Citations, everyone was required to fly everything. The emphasis was that all our customers deserved the same level of competency and equipment level. The Aztec's had radar and fd's.
