I wish this "flow-up/flow-down" issue was dead. However the mainline boys think that RJ pilots don't have the talent to fly the big iron. Plus they want there military friends to start in the high paying jobs (Airbus,MD-80,757 etc..). So here we are two class social system that we fight like cats and dogs. That's fine I can live by that but would life for all of us (121 pilots) be easier if we flew for our carrier we all on the same level? If I flew Continental Passengers then I was a Continental Pilot. (Insert United,NWA,USAir etc...) We are all at fault for letting this "farming out" of our jobs via American Connection, Continental Connection, MESA, Trans States, whatever... This just lets management continue to divide and conquer our jobs and profession. The only fix I see is that if you fly a United passenge you should be a United pilot. (insert any airline into the line)
 
Resistance,

I think the "RJ boys" are flying the big iron---I saw one of those Mesa CRJ-900's yesterday and thought America West had an MD-80. That thing was very long. Also, some of those RJ pilots did go up to the majors and flew the mainline aircraft in the flow up. But, these troubled times have forced some to flow back. As long as there is an equal amount flowing forward and back, I have no problem with it. But, AA furloughing 2500 more down and COEX recieving more flow downs and not allowing additional flow ups after this is over is wrong I believe.
