This is why this board is such a friggin joke. What hypocrites.
The TRUTH is REGIONAL JETS are cancer. And who were the first to bring that cancer to the US Airline Industry??
I can't tell you how happy Comair pilots used to be flying ex mainline routes for substandard compensation, while they paid for training. The E-120's were being parked and they didn't complain one bit. They didn't think anything was wrong with it. Growing like a weed and smiling the whole way up, all the while shutting down ANY flowback from DAL Mainline. That would stop their growth!! Arguments on this board used to be RJDC/mainline wars.
Fast forward to a 'payfreeze' after a big shiny 170 was parked on their ramp like a jungle gym they could all climb over. How long had ASA been trying to get a new contract?? Aren't they still working on it? Hmmm....
Not to mention, but a lot of the Comair punks calling everyone whores and cancer were busy being paid $8/hr as CFI's while the present pilots were out striking. They just showed up in time to vote for no furloughs and lots of 170's, of which they recieved exactly the opposite. Then they blame CHQ??
Oh I see, pinnacle and gojets and TSA aren't flying for Delta yet, and skywest had been mostly contained out west. So who's easiest to blame...
The Majors are finally starting to turn around and hire. And isn't it refreshing to see how opinions change when your number is called to CAL or DAL???
"Well I want to go, but Comair and Skywest and RP are now flying 70-90 seat airplanes for them, it's only a matter of time before regionals are doing everything domestic. And then I'll be on the street again!"
Woops. Who's the cancer now?

P.S. Unfortunately, If CHQ is a cancer, the way this industry is moving I'll never be healthier than I am today. And I think I speak for a lot of others here too. (and if you blame our contract, go back to sitting that ready reserve sequence you were junior manned into, I'll be here at home on my HARD day off.)
