I can’t speak for anyone else, but as a “regional” pilot, I’ll tell you what I feel entitled to:
I feel that I am entitled to some respect.
I feel that mainline pilots should recognize that I am not “steeling” their flying. They are “giving” it away every time they vote for a contract that reduces scope (noted- the 1113(c) process was a gun to the head).
I feel that mainline pilots should recognize that by allowing their company unlimited “regional” partners, without so much as stipulating that they be unionized, completely undermines my negotiating leverage.
I feel that senior mainline pilots who compare their career path to that of a young(er) pilot today are fooling themselves if they think it is the same.
