Yes I want priority, on the ones we operate, the one our company fix when it's broken, the one that has our company name on it, the ones that take Delta's passenger where they need to go.
Every seat on that plane is owned by Delta. Delta pays for your mx costs. Delta's name is a lot bigger on it than your company's name.
Regionals are a discount workforce supplier to the major. You take a workforce, strip lots of things from them (such as travel benefits), supply them with planes and passengers, and you have a regional.
Regional pilots will never be on par with major pilots... that is what the entire premise of the industry is.
