Xjet Buying Regionsair!!!!

[taildragerpilot]

I forgot, CB is the guy with all the money!!! WOW, so getting a crappy wage from Regions and abused by scheduling, management and the whole pilot group, for what is it now?? 5-6 years?? All this is a HOBBY for you!! Thanks for your enlightment, you probably get paid less at regions than 75% of the people in this forum, Yet you still gotta BIG mouth!!! I'm not suprised I think thats your nickname at the company.....Anyway keep talking trash, cause thats all that comes out of your mouth CB.....Hobby my A$$

i manage to only work about 9 months a year, so yeah it's a hobby. i offer no appologies about that.

I don't know that RJ's ruined the industry, but the have not helped. Greedy management and people that fly them for too little bank are a bigger problem!

To make what a Pan Am Flight Engineer made in the mid '70's you would have to be making more than $500,000/year now with inflation factored in...Probably be close to $800K/yr for a senior CA.

Think about that for a while...and think about how wonderful your replacement jet job is...

 

[CopilotDoug]

for less than I make 2nd year pay on my barbie jet.

Before you get too full of yourself, you guys have a payscale for $52k as an FO? 'Cause that's what I made my first year at a desk. It's not the most by any means, but decent first year compensation at a non-union company. This concept of being compensated for your time seems to be lost on the Regional Airlines. Go ALPA!

You're comparing a regional airline FO position with a desk job? That's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison there, friend. Mind if I ask what you were doing?

I'll never take anything away from the professional, hard-working 3C crews that I know bust their ass on a daily basis...but I'm also not going to accept somebody getting holier-than-thou on me because of where I went to school or the airplane that I happen to fly.

What a shame...mentioning a joke in 2003 has evolved into this...

I can more than appreciate that, since this particular position did not require the years of training and studying my flying did. It was a support position for an aircraft broker. Some days I was sales, other days I was customer service, or bills collection, or engine records man, etc., etc., etc.

or the airplane that I happen to fly.

It's not the plane people are b*tching about, it's the money you're leaving on the table when you fly it

 

[CopilotDoug]

And the planes you are flying are garbage. If it isn't Boeing or Douglas, it's garbage...

Where's 'Taildrager,' I believe he just got called out and now he's hiding? That's to be expected...

 

[CopilotDoug]

Gentlemen! All this fighting will have pretty negative ramifications on XJet's offer for Regions!

called out on what, exactly? sorry, i don't live on this forum like so many do. tax time is coming up; drives my CPA nuts. anyway, i'm starting my 5th week in a row off from flying and enjoying every minute of it. bummer, only two weeks left. remember, any pilot can fly an airplane, but it takes a great pilot not to fly one.

Rumor has it, taildrager is over at Smyrna taking trash out and sweeping hangers, o and cleaning DC's office in order to get paid for his 70 or 75 hrs./mo. His choice not to fly is cerntainly not his own. When you're down to 1 plane and the third or fourth guy down the list, there is not going to be a whole lot of flying.....BUT!!! Luckily Regions doesn't let their employees down, so they offered Taildrager the Assisstant Janitor position at the Smyrna outhouse ( RegionsAir HQ's) Congratulations CB you earned it!!

We always love you flame baiters stepping in and started up something that should have been done and over long ago. Thanks dummy!
