The pimp (Colgan/Pinnacle) gets the money while riding the prositutes (pilots) back.

Some things never change, unfortunately.
 
Obviously we all should be paid mainline wages and fly nothing under 150 seats... Since that is a fantasy and there is no foreseeable way to recoup all that scope, your point is moot. MY point is we are really screwed when regionals start undercutting each other this badly. Colgan flies a plane that is 50% bigger for significantly less pay and worse work rules than expressjet erj drivers.

Don't be a hypocrite 30west. Otherwise how do you explain once working for the cancers which are our airlines? I'll give you SOME (a micron) credit for never flying a RJ though...
 
You say it's not cool to wish others out of work, but isn't that pretty much what you wish on the CJC guys?

Be careful. "Work" implies a liveable wage is earned commensurate with the skills and effort and responsibility employed to do the job. At Colgan, its more like "charity". At Gulfstream, its more like "tithing".

ALL regionals are an industry wide cancer. The top of the tumor is just as cancerous as the bottom.

Regionals are not a cancer as long as they are payed a wage that is in line with what the major's make per seat. If a Airbus Capt makes 2$/seat/hr then a regional pilot with similar seniority should make 2$/seat/hr.

But we all know that if regional airlines stood up for those fair wages, then the dream of a "quick upgrade" would be gone since there is no incentive to subcontract the flying anymore. Welcome Colgan, Mesa and Republic! And Freedom etc.
