As 737's leave the property, outsourced Embraers will follow in their place. And it is the senior people who let it happen.
If I were a senior pilot or flight attendant, I'd be embarassed that I let it happen. The company has played you like a well-tuned Stratavarius.
But what you just don't seem to understand, is that without junior people, your senior status doesn't mean squat!

No kidding...and what EXACTLY were we supposed to do about it. We went from the best scope language in the industry to the worst...THE WORST. Regional carriers ready to slit our throats and undercut our pay to fly the "jets"and here we sit pointing the finger at each other. Mainline this/MDA that, dark siders, give away gang. I'M SICK OF ALL THIS COMPLAINING. You act as if the MEC coldly calculated all this. Trust me pal, they aren't that smart. We just got played again with this EMB190 flying. We get the flying "in house" but at the very same time we give the company 93 CRJ900 outsourced aircraft. Why the heck would they buy the darn things to start with. This whole situation sucks but lets make it worse. Lets point the finger at each other instead of lousy managers, failed business plans, greedy oil companies, ineffective government and people willing to do OUR jobs for pennies on the dollar. So, now the solution is to follow the money trail...right to the same pockets that paid for medical insurance for furloughed pilots and made concessions to keep people working.
Embarassed...yeah I'm embaressed. I'm embarassed that we're reduced to labels and name calling like children.
For Pete's sake take your toys and go home.
