pipejockey said:WHAT??? Highly paid? United, Delta, and I think NWA had higher payrates for a 737 size aircraft 5 years ago! Not to mention the QOL and workrules and pension that made the career worth having just a few years ago. And what about 1998,1999, and 2000 when the the majors were making gobs of money and about half of those rj's you see today. We still had vacation and leasure travelers in large numbers. But we had more high dollar business travelers who have gone by the wayside. 1 full fare coach class ticket was probably worth 3 of these cheap leisure fares you see today. And First Class travelers were the icing on the cake. Now it seems like just a bunch of upgrades in first class who didn't pay anything near first class rate...I hate those people looking all smug like they paid the $2000 fare.
So you hate the customers that are paying YOUR salary.. You'll get far with that attitude pal...
So you're living in the past as well. Sorry. Oh, and Delta, United, and NWA are BANKRUPT !!!! I just find it ridiculous that all you sour grapes people are now moving on from CHQ and Mesa by now naming SWA as the new arch-enemy.
Of course this is the regionals forum where reality has no bearing on any discussion.
