It's only May. CRJ pairings are brutal! (ASA)

I was flying with a F/O who had printed his schedule out and in cruise he drew lines through several locals and 2 days. I asked him what the lines were for, he replied those are SSDs. I asked what those were, he said Scheduled Sick Days. I sprayed coke out my nose! News flash SSD are in pace at your place of employment too, ya just have to deploy them.

Hope he has a creative explanation for his "SSDs" during his interviews at mainline

I think that's a myth created by regional management to get you to play the game!

SKYW F/Os are looking at about a 6 year upgrade, they cannot even see an upgrade, much less a mainline job, thanks for playing though. If a regional pilot doesn't use SSDs as a schedule enhancement tool they will have a very limited life, 10 days off guaranteed, plus a commute, equals a divorce or 2, and kids that say to their mom, "who is that guy in the Halloween costume" she says "that's the UPS guy, your real daddy is on a 4 day"

Why even consider leaving when the Mitsubishi MRJs are just a few tantalizing years away? It's so close you can taste it... Who would want to give up the opportunity to fly a "mainline-like" jet like the MRJ at sagging regional rates? Nobody rational! :laugh:

You shouldn't be snorting coke in the first place!!

Don't need to upgrade at a regional to get a job at a mainline.
