Or do you just push buttons on an FMS with the autopilot on while trying to aim for every cloud because you have 10 hours of actual imc?
Wait until our MEC votes on the TA. We(the Delta Pilot group) will then have the opportunity to examine, then vote on the TA. There are a lot of us who will vote "no" if TA includes any additional 76 seat aircraft, one can only hope there are enough to shoot it down. Next time you wonder about how to improve the industry may I suggest you meditate on why you took that $20ish per hour job just to fly a jet, I'm curious what your conclusion might be....looking out for "number one" maybe?
I took that $17/hr job because mainline was too good to fly SAABs. Yet they all had DC-3's, Connie's etc. Working here is one of the most viable methods to get to a major. Your immature statements only show your ignorance about what we do at the regionals. Aim for every cloud..... Ignorant.
Someday when I am at a major I will advocate thru the union to fix this mess. I won't forget the screwed up system that constantly forces companies to undercut each other. We worked tirelessly to improve our contracts. But all it takes is NWA and Delta to "stop" paying us and we are in a sham bankruptcy. Twice now mainline has done this and we have no choice. We have no power to fix this on our end. Only the Mainline Mec's can affect the outcome. Hold the line on scope!!!!!!!
