Piece of Trash
So TSA joins the rank of most other regional airlines-They're losing flying to another regional. This other regional just so happens to be one that people have a rabid, knee jerk reaction to. To me, it's no different to what others out there, like Colgan are doing. Taking flying from another regional because they do it cheaper. Plain and simple. Where has all of Xjet's flying gone? Why is Mesaba hiring? Once you get past the hatred of one regional you must hate them all. Wages are going down, equipment is getting bigger and guys like to think their employer is better than the other. WRONG. Each regional is a back stabbing, wage suppressing, dirt bag outfit. Get over it.
No, this would be akin to Delta buying Northwest, seeing that NWA pilots work cheaper and moving ALL the flying over to Northwest while kicking the Delta guys to the curb and saying "Have fun. If you want your job back, feel free to apply for Northwest."
If it were another regional bidding on an RFP and being awarded flying another regional used to have, there's not much you can say about that. Seeing as there hasn't been an announced RFP in forever, that's not the case.
