Regional for a career

[Gr82Aviate]

I'm primed and ready to check the no box. I honestly don't give a flying ******************** what any TA looks like at this point. 7+ years "negotiating" is just obscene.

Ahh, must be one of BB's minions?

God bless...

Ashamedly, yes. I just heard some interesting news about the company search for fresh minions. You get a free $5 Starbucks gift card and a chance to win an iPad for just showing up for an interview. Pretty sweet deal considering that you won't be able to afford to eat, let alone buy an iPad if you do get the job. It's just not possible to make this ******************** up.

You'd think Regional managements would have figured this out by now.

They've gotten away with it for so long now.

NOW, RAA is screaming that the new rules will put them out of business. The extent of the new rules really ARE an over-reaction IMO but the real problem is that this industry has, for a long time, been paring away at the incentives of making this a career choice for our best and brightest.

Majors have started rebuilding and regional will too - if they want to stay in business.

God forbid, they do anything that would may the career attractive to future flyers.

Everyone is seeing these massive retirements coming and are looking at the regionals as merely a stepping stone. They don't really care what they're paying just want to do their time until a major calls. Smarty pants ceo's know this and will be able to whipsaw regionals more than ever. Look what they did to psa. Keep the pay at the majors up and you can pay guys at the regionals whatever you want. Then god forbid the sh!t hits the fan and you're stuck make 4th year fo pay for the next 10 years.

Bet things would be different if the Teamsters weren't running the show!

Well, to be fair, ALPA would at least have signed a concessionary contract for us by now. The worthless, POS, choad slurping Teamsters can't even pull that off. Our local is still too busy trying to secure F9 Airbus seats for the lifers here. It's like the psycho ex-girlfriend from college that can't just ********************ing let go.

And, they keep advertising for $64,000 training tracks that will place you in pilot pool.com for a 20k/year job...
