Mvndc10, what point are you trying to make here? As someone previously said, you probably work for Colgan or Eagle. We fly fun planes into awesome uncontrolled Bahamian airports, get to overnight in resorts all over the islands, learn from Captains who actually enjoy doing their jobs, and have a blast doing it. I'd rather work here, than get stuck on a 6 day trip in a shiny jet with a prick who thinks their sh!tty regional job is better than the other, or does nothing but complain about it...

Sounds like a great way to justify your job. We have no trips over 4 days at Eagle, most are 2 or 3. We get about 15 days off/month, our FOs make more than your Captains as well. We enjoy having an auto pilot, and get 3 hour legs to we can actually make some money. We also do the islands, we enjoy going into Georgetown or La Ramona (oh wait your 1900 can not go that far). We also enjoy not having to fly with Captains who paid for their training to an Eastern Scab.
A ton of lakes and silver captains are now FOs at Eagle, because they wanted a better QOL. You need a get some humble pie man, because your out of touch with reality. Oh BTW what happens to you low time guys if you do not have 1500 hours by next AUG?????
