hellas said:flying a crj at a regional is NOT real 121, the majors do treat the folks with a little more respect, maybe not in compensation or retirement but the majors are definitely not the regional so be careful what you wish for.
??? Not to change the subject of the thread, but what makes flying a CRJ at a regional between ORD and OKC any different from flying an A320 along the same route? It might not have the same BENEFITS or PAY, but it most certainly is "real" 121. At least as far as I'm concerned.
I've had just as good a contract as a major airline pilot in terms of work rules & pay per available seat )... the only difference is that I had fewer seats. (in fact my PPS was better in many instances.)
