I told you so.....
No Cactus, the line hasn't been "drawn", it has only been further "blurred". Jetblue rates are LOWER than some regional 70 seat rates for captain. As I predicted, the "mainline" groups will start underbidding the regional rates to capture the flying. Maybe PCL128 can explain to me how this is a good thing. What good are more "mainline" jobs if they pay less than my lowly little "regional" job? Maybe we should start undercutting mainline to fly the 737, 757, and 777?
This is no surprise to many of us - we saw this coming. Regional guys WAKE UP! The mainline will do ANYTHING to protect it's own, even if it means undercutting the regionals. Start looking out for yourselves instead of kissing their a$$.

The line between mainline and regional has finally been drawn - albeit very late.
