[Scope out RJ's]

There is one problem problem with your statement. Southwest is not PFT. Advice; Stop talking out of your ass....you won't sound like an idiot.

Advice:
Quit sticking your face near my ass, and I'll stop talking out of it. I'm not a swa pilot, so I don't go that way!
And yes sport, swa is pft!

It is a "Regional route" if only 30-40 people are booked on it at the day/time that the flight is run. Should they put a 757 on it just because some mainline pilots think it is their God given right to fly people from ORD-MIA? That thinking makes no sense to me at all! Lets fly empty planes around! That is great for your company's bottom line!

When the name of your airline is on the side of your airplane and the ticket was sold by your airline then it will be your "God given right" to fly that route! As for the future, instead of flying that 57 to MIA, WE will fly the RJ!

>>SWA did<<

You are kind of right and don't even know why. The ten year contract was bound on the company for ten years, but the pilots were only bound for five. Four years into it, Herb offered up some goodies in a "bribe" to get us to commit to the second five early. Extending that contract carried us through the 9/11 storm period without an amendable contract to worry about when everyone else was going backwards.

My point was that I feel that the path of least resistance for the new United MEC to capture the regional feed will be to create a new "B" scale for anyone coming onto the property.

It is probably coming, for better or worse.

Well said.

This, unforunately, is one obstacle we will face with the issue. Guys have to ask themselves exactly how far they are willing to go to recapture "regional" aircraft flying.

Is it recapture at all costs or is it recapture only on certain terms?

PFT = Pay For Training. SWA doesn't get ANY money from their pilot candidates for training. They only require that you have a type rating......whether you get that by paying ANOTHER company for the type rating yourself, or if you happen to have a 737 type. By definition, that is NOT pay for training.

How about you review some basic logic and a little of that English language?

Either that, or you stay in your little happy ignorant world....making up $hit.

For me it is the highest priority.

I'm sorry, but the correct answer is BOTH.
Southwest has the highest pay and no regionals..."both" is a viable option.
Let's not forfeit before the game begins!

We have GIVEN up pay, retirement and flying. When asked "What's most imortant," the answer is:

D. All of the above.
