Regionals board become hostile????
man no kidding....i'm in a position to decide what direction to go and choose anything at all...this is what ive gathered life is like in each category.
Regionals-you will always be poor. you will complain alot about your 'scope' and 'TA' and management and 'unions'. your company will always be close to bankrupt. you will be miserable. you will take it out on others and cut throats to get the next level.
Majors- you might not be so poor anymore, you will still complain about management and pay. but mostly sweating out the next furlough. in hopes you make the cut and are part of the starting lineup again....or until a job at SWA comes through.
Corporate-you have some money. youre not so poor. the only complaining you do is about a short notice flight or the people in the FBO that talk about hair gel and investments all the time. you worry about the company selling off its planes. and as a result your job on short notice. however, overall it feels more secure.
Cargo-you have some money. perhaps not so poor if youre in a jet. your complaining is about sleep. and you keep ruining shirts from engine oil. you might buy an FBO style chair to sleep in at home cause thats what youre used to. youre never seen in the day.
why subject myself to a Regional? why subject myself to a major? ill still be furloughed either way and poor. according to this group, corporate or 135 is the way to go now. you wont drive a porsche, but youll have enough to do what you want to do and live well. thats what ive found out so far. im glad theres people here that feel soo generous about their industry and show it in the most favorable light (cough cough-regional-cough cough)
