To be fair, anyone working for a regional who doesn't exhibit an extreme willingness to leave for greener pastures should have their medical revoked.

......why is that....?

Some of us are happy with 6 digit incomes and our choice of schedules.....not to mention not getting furloughed....

I don't understand your position and then the fact that you all want back in when things go south......You've gone on to greener pastures....enjoy them....
 
Yep, you've stayed with your regional for how long before barely cresting the six digit mark? Not to mention all those years of accruing longevity and seniority could be wiped away with the next RFP. But I guess if you enjoy flying 6 legs a day to the same craphole destinations with your company's solvency dependant on how cheap they can move planes from point A to point BFE then have fun at it.
 
Keep in mind that a lot of airlines, not only regionals, have a no rehire policy. Many make it a policy to not re-hire you if you leave for something else.
 
IMACDOG, You moved on to be a slave to the RICH so that you can make a little bit more money. How does it feel to be the Biatch to the rich? Now go back to flying your slowtation.

Wow, this is a little narrow sighted. Just because the flying for you was not enjoyable does not mean that it is not the right choice for others. I left Eagle to fly Legacys in the middle east, I have to say that although I enjoy this job many dont. It is all about the type of person that you are.

I didn't know General Lee had a 3rd login...

Yeah, and your girlfriend is ugly!

And if he went to United, Continental, USDespAir, or American, he would have been furloughed. Probably twice. Staying at a regional and building up seniority rather than giving it up for a crapshoot is probably the smartest thing you can do right now. Unless you're moving overseas, and that's not everyone's cup of tea.
 
Like many others, I quit my regional to go to another job (supposedly better), and then was furloughed. I know that many that have quit their regional and gone off to United, American, etc. I would like to know if anyone has successfully gone back to their old job.
Thanks

Did you give 2 weeks or just piss all over your cp desk and say I'm out of here?

Year 18 pay on the ATR/CRJ 200 96.00 per hour right? What kind of schedule are you flying to get over 6 figs and still have a life?

He would have to credit 1042 hours a year to make $100,000 if that's his pay rate. Dubious claim at best, but looks good on the Internet. I'd love to see his schedule.

Uh, I dont think you understand the climate of the mainlines nowadays. Jumpseated on an Airways 737 the other day. Crew had a 7 leg day. 12 year cpt at my airline on a 175 makes MORE than a 12 year cpt on a 190 at Airways. With the way the industry has turned and continues to evolve. Unless FedEx grants me an interview, my regional is where I stay.

75 hours (Guarantee) x 12 months = 900 hours. 900 hours x $96 = $86,400. That's just guarantee, no per diem, no profit sharing, stock options and no credits at all.

Add let's say 10 hours credit per month credit. (very, very easy to do with seniority).

10 hours x 12 mo = 120 hours. 120 hours x $96 = $11,520.
Total compensation without per diem, profit sharing, and stock options is $97,920.

15 hours x 12 mo = 180 hours. 180 hours x $96 =
$17,280. Total compensation without per diem, profit sharing and stock options is $103,680.

20 hours x 12 mo = 240 hours. 240 hours x $96 = $23,040. Total compensation without per diem, profit sharing and stock options is $109,440.

Add another $5,000 approximate for per diem to each. Another say $2000 for profit sharing (granted it's been weak lately). And another $1000 for stock options. All scenarios (except plain guarantee) easily take you over 6 figures without much extra help, especially if you fly high paying NAPS.

Duty Rigs with Nap Lines (100+ hours/month), Overblock, Per Diem, etc.

It's very possible. Especially if you're senior enough to consistently get your top few choices.
