Why should regional pilots accept traditionally low wages? Why should RJ pilots have to wait to make it to the majors to make a sustainable wage?but then they should understand the pay and benefits NORMALLY associated with regional flying.
That is the way it goes. To bring down larger planes for less pay is WRONG.
Yes, things are eroding at the Majors currently, but that may not be forever, unless pilots are willing to fly larger for less at the regionals.

I hope DALPA practices what you preach

General: You let them go in 1996. Now you are trying to take them back while other ALPA members are performing that flying.General Lee said:Those planes we are going after are going to REPLACE our 737-200s eventually, so unless we want to shrink, we would be crazy NOT to go after the larger RJs. That makes sense, right? We may have to take less pay initially to get the planes on the property. If you let them go, you will never get them back. They are replacement aircraft for our current 737-200s.
Bye Bye--General Lee
I could not agree with you more. In fact, this is the position I took in 2000 and I'm holding the course. I am glad the Judge in the RJDC suit refused ALPA's request to hold the lawsuit in abeyance and actually accelerated the case given recent events.General Lee said:If we don't take a stand now, things may never get better. We are attempting that right now.
Bye Bye--General Lee
General Lee said:Wow, you're awesome. You go girl. You should go buy a Cessna Cardinal with all of that money and go fly it to Albany, GA for lunch sometime..... Did you inherit that money? I bet you did, because you sound pretty dumb. Spoiled brat.

and all this time you idiots have been bitching about various regionals doing this exact thing. Now its ok because it benefits you? Oh, thats right, I forgot mailine pilots are the only ones that can help us all. Sometimes I'm still amazed by your incredible arrogance.General Lee said:We may have to take less pay initially to get the planes on the property. If you let them go, you will never get them back.

Crash Pad said:The Big Picture
Sorry this is a neat discussion but you are all missing the really big picture. Delta is going to liquidate or merge. End of discussion. Scope the regionals out completely who gives a rats a$$. Delta has been unable to string together a profitable month since 9/11. General I know you're senior but liquidation is a catch all.
Place blame all you want... Management, Scope, RJDC, The RJ, Pilot pay, fuel hedge, stock buy back... At the end of the day Delta will not exist in five years. So there is your big picture... Don't forget you heard it first on FLIGHT INFO!!!
