And the bottom feeders live on!

Yeah, because you guys are such a paragon of protecting the profession. STFU mr. 80 for 80.

WOW, that is sooooo original. And I guess the flight school you work for is so much better.

What growth has CHQ been awarded that is not directly as a result of other furloughed pilots?

United...?
No.

American?
Not in St. Louis.

Delta?
Both Comair and Delta will be furloughing to fill your bid.

Airways?
Granted the original 145 flying, but all 170 flying is a result of furloughs.


This is where the "bottom feeder" comments come from. While other airlines are furloughing, you underbid them and replace their jobs, in the same-sized equipment sometimes! Just so you understand where the negativity towards CHQ is coming from.

Then do us all a favor and go get real pay/benefits for those 170's in '06.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

will try to do my best nimtz... I'm sure 99% of pilots at every regional feel that way too....

I wouldn't slam just CHQ...every regional in the past few years (since 9.11) that have grown to double their size was a direct result of the majors furloughing.

All the USAir flying on the 170 was already being flown by CHQ 145s. They haven't added anything they didn't already do before. All of the early AA stuff in STL was done before as TWE. AA has changed the service cities since then....
