00:00 - 00:05Negotiations begin again on Monday
00:05 - 00:07so I knew I needed to hurry.
00:07 - 00:10I panicked and sent an email
00:11 - 00:16to all of the pilots. Not just the new hires, the 777 captains, too.
00:17 - 00:21I told them to go to a regional.
00:21 - 00:24I did.
00:29 - 00:31I did.
00:31 - 00:34I hadn't even talked to American or PSA yet.
00:38 - 00:40I know.
00:41 - 00:47I made the intern and IT guy stay late and work together
00:47 - 00:50to make a website real quick
00:50 - 00:56so that it looked like a real opportunity.
00:58 - 00:59I honestly
00:59 - 01:01didn't plan to send it.
01:04 - 01:06So then I had to call PSA
01:06 - 01:08and kindly ask them
01:13 - 01:14if they
01:14 - 01:16would mind taking some
01:16 - 01:20of our pilots.
01:21 - 01:27Naturally, PSA asked who is going to pay the signing bonus.
01:35 - 01:36I told them we would
01:36 - 01:39use the money we payroll deduct from pilots
01:41 - 01:44because, seriously, their expense reports
01:44 - 01:47are a mess. It's a real problem,
01:47 - 01:49but it increases our margins.
01:50 - 01:53Keeps the investors happy.
01:54 - 01:56Can you imagine
01:56 - 01:58getting hired here
01:58 - 02:02and then being told you should go to a regional?
02:05 - 02:07It's gold.
02:10 - 02:11So good.
02:11 - 02:13It's so good.
02:15 - 02:17I actually think the NMB will
02:17 - 02:20like the idea because those guys hate laborers.
02:21 - 02:28All the pilots can do is take a pesky strike vote.
02:29 - 02:30A strike vote?
02:30 - 02:32A strike vote, yes.
02:36 - 02:39Once in a while they picket.
02:40 - 02:42They just stand there.
02:50 - 02:55Sometimes I feel bad for them.
02:56 - 02:58So, what happens next?
02:58 - 03:04We wait and see who wants to be a regional pilot again.
03:04 - 03:09If you have cargo on your resume you might flow through.
03:09 - 03:11What a terrible deal.
03:16 - 03:20I almost feel bad,
03:23 - 03:26but my ball's in the fairway.
03:31 - 03:36I just hope they don't realize they're worth a lot more than that.
