How about we use some of them there regional jets to get some of you guys to work for your next commute. Or you could walk.

How about we use some of them there regional jets to get some of you guys to work for your next commute. Or you could walk. I take mainline, therefore...

How about we park them here:

Mainline pilots can cry over their beers, paid for with their unemployment checks, about how RJ's have ruined their careers, all day. In fact it is those of us STILL flying RJ's that should be angry. It is you who ruined OUR careers, you should have allowed them on property years ago, and it is you with your well funded unions who should have stood up in 2001-2002. To blame the decline of this career on an airframe is idiotic.

The RJ RUUULEZ the skies!!!!!!

That's right and don't you forget it!:cartman:

 

[BigMeat]

Put them in hangars with 777's going through "D" checks as a "comfort animal".

To me this was so funny that I laughed till I cried. Im not sure why......Good one.

 

[BigPappa]

I have to say it too, now that's pretty darn funny!

We should make all the horrible Airline CEO's ride on a CRJ on a 3 hour flight. No Air conditioning and no drinks or snacks allowed.

Newark To Dallas

The list would include: Stephen Wolf, Bob Ferguson, Frank Lorenzo, Crandall....

What a freaking LOSER!!! It takes a low-life to actually brag about flying a pi** ant RJ for 90grand, when if it were not for mainline guys giving scope away in the 90s because they were too good to fly rjs, you could actually be earning over 100 graand as an FO flying real airliners, and given time be in the left seat for a lot more. But you musn't be intelligent enough for that, after all you just fly a barbie jet!

I'm not gloating, just defending a job that pays my bills and shooting a little irony into the thread. It is ironic, isn't it- that there are legacy pilots on the street when they could be making a living in a pissant RJ instead of standing in the unemloyment line?

Next time, I'll start a thread on the Majors board titled Top Ten Uses for An A300-600B4 and we'll see what kind of responses that elicits.

Thanks for reminding me what a loser i am for defending my livelihood. Something the mainline elitists failed to do for themselves.

Could have something restricting him to that speed. It's been a while since I dispatched the CRJ, but there were a few things that could limit it to M0.65

Talking about UAL mainline that wants to conserve fuel by slowing up everyone behind him. When I have to space 20 miles in trail, he'll be at the back of the pack. So much for fuel savings.

Huh? Somebody held a gun to your head and MADE you undercut pay and work rules?

"Please stop me from screwing myself!"

Mainline pilots SHOULD have done something about it. Had we known noobs would sell themselves out for a shiny jet, maybe we would've...eh?

You have a goal. If you'd like it to remain something worth pursuing, perhaps you ought to re-examine what YOUR actions have done to diminish it.

Nah...just kidding! Continue your blameless self-actualizing!

Enough of the $20,000 to fly a jet BS....

Like $30,000 first year to fly a 737 or MD80 is any freakin better! It's called first year pay. Get over it. You all did it, but now you're at the Majors so you get to slam RJ pilots. Last I checked, you had to take a Regional job to get to a Major.

Quit slamming RJ's and the pilots that fly them. You sound like elitist snobs. RJ's are better than their predecessors like Saabs, Jetsteams, Short, etc...

Should Major pilots fly them, who knows. If so, then there would be no Regionals, but the RJ's would still be there. Would there be a thread to make fun of them then? Probably not.

Enjoy your heavy iron. I'll go fly my ashtray, beercan, paper weight now.
