First off your have to be at least 21 to get hired at the regional. Secondly I didn't vote for this in the first place--you and your coworkers did. The majority of regional pilots would say anything with a jet engine should be flown by mainline. Most would be ok with stapling to the bottom of a mainline (well at least those with less than 10 years seniority). Bottom line is most of us are trying like hell to get out of here, but while we're here we're going to operate as safe and professional as possible. Don't blame us for your own stupidity from years ago.
Be careful who you place the BLAME GAME on!
Not all of us at the Majors were in favor of giving up scope, not to mention if someone at a Regional has 10+ years they were NOT able to be hired at a Major......
I agree, there is no possible way the 2012 number for United retirees is accurate, at least not due to age 65. The mandatory retirements for age 65 will kick in during December 2012.
The statistic listed would be saying that there are 263 pilots that have December birthdays that just happen to be turning 65 in 2012.
I think a row might be missing, and who knows how accurate any of these numbers is.

Psst Psst. Time to wake from your dream world. There is no way UAL will end up will CAL scope.
I have seen both sides of this coin and honestly, both sides are to blame. The mainline pilots should never had allowed the RJ's to be flown out of their own pilot group and the regional pilots should never had agreed and continue to fly the RJ's for crap pay and work rules. The mainline guys need to retake scope and the regional guys need to fight for a respectable contract, ie better pay and work rules! The solution to the problem is with both groups so stop blaming one another and change your mindset and try to be part of the solution. As for the CAL/UAL groups, scope is number one priority so for those of you living in the Bedford dream world that scope will continue to be relaxed allowing more and larger RJ's to be operated by regional contract carriers, forget it!
All right,
Cant go to the military because the wife would leave, and as much as I would love to try, it's not worth losing my family over it.
The civilian path obligates you to fly RJ's. The "big boys" wont even look at you if you dont have PIC "shine jet" time. What am I to do?
If I don't fly RJ's I dont have a career, but if I do I'm supporting "killing the industry". All of those that like to call us RJ's puke are the ones that gave the flying away. Take it back while you can and stop blaming the pilots that are trying to make a career that you help destroy.
I wasn't at United headquarters picketing for more flying. Those are YOUR management decisions. I don't support, I don't agree doing a SFO-MCI 3:45 flight on a RJ, but please tell me what I should do.
