For all you regional pilots with "balls", here's one guy that's gonna grab your "balls". Thread from jetcareers and typifies the reason that NO regional will ever be a career position. Put your time in and get the heck out.

Not sure how a guy turning down interviews, and contemplating going through a CRJ course is relevant?

It's relevant because there will always be people willing to pay their way to get into an airline seat and there will always be airlines willing to take them. Regional airlines never were and are not intended to be career positions. You people need to realize that fact and just put in your time, upgrade as soon as you can get the heck out to make way for the next guy drooling to take your RJ seat.

Ok......thought that might have been what you were implying, just wasn't truely clear. But then it's been that way for almost 20 yrs. I remember guys back in early 90's coughing up 25k to get 121 current/qualified (when it meant something) and a type out of it. And these guys had 10,000 hours or thereabouts, maybe down to 5-6 but there were some high timers. Always will be around.

my sh1tty airline/pilot group is better than your sh1tty airline/pilot group. - god da@#it, would you guys please STFU.


Every airline, from Lakes to FDX, big/small, sked or nonsked, in the past present and whatever comes down the road has its good points and bad points. Everyone of these airlines will have good and bad times. For some they just haven't come yet. One day your head is on the chopping block the next you have the best contract by 2 cents and hour then it starts all over again.

It's kinda like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. Regional airlines are supposed to be a stepping stone to the majors. Pilots need to use them for what they are, leave and don't look back. Management has ZERO incentive to increase wages and benefits because they KNOW that litterally thousands of young CFI and academy grads are chomping at the bit to get on there and get the required 1000 PIC so they can advance to their goal major.

Your pay is the pay all other carriers are being forced to take concessions to. You haven't been forced to take concessions because you never had the balls to negotiate anything above a concessionary rate.

Are you mental?!?! Do you know how the process works?

Are you gonna write a letter to the NMB and tell them to put the proffer of arbitration out there or release us?

So tell us, "All knowing Master Negotiator", how to negotiate above our current(not concessionary) rate?

No one's being forced to our level.

What a schmuck!
