Sorry you see it that way, but you're entitled to your opinion. You see it as me being a "bully", but what I see is me only returning rocks thrown specifically at me by two known instigators. They want to belittle me as "JJ", "joey" or a baby kangaroo, fine...........I can play that game to the end of eternity.
Tit-for-tat.

In the near future, we know that AMR says they want to diversify the feed and we also know that if AA orders E175 RAH has a program, bad contract, lower wages and thus might be able to deploy the aircraft sooner. These are all fact, but no need to come here and act like you are, talkig about high 5ers, and then do the same!
If I took joy in bashing Eagle pilots, I'd be doing that freely. I have friends at Eagle and hope they make out better (but of course, not at my expense). My posts above were directed SPECIFICALLY at 2 rock throwers. Other then that, my comments were simply obvious observations (which you seem to agree with) and thus they must be faced. Mainline pilots will be facing them and they will essentially be the ones funding these larger RJ's with their concessions (forced or otherwise). I think it's time for all of us to put on our big boy pants and acknowledge where this profession is going and mainline pilots short-term pain will be regional pilots long-term pain.
If I want to listen to the H-5 crowd there's two other websites that are infested with them. Unfortunately, when a couple of them scurry along the baseboards to this one for a quick hit-and-run rock throw, I reserve the right to return the rocks at my discretion.
