Listen, this is a bad deal for everyone we arent going to fix this today nor here. Heck man, I flew for the commuters, but I flew commuter flying. Everyone has to start somewhere, I wasnt born with an ATP, I just know the current situation isnt going to cut it. You guys could stand up for better working conditions, schedules, some retirement, crew lounges, etc. That alone would start to turn the tables. This is what mgt sees. Hardly any work rules, no QWL in the contracts, zero retirement, cheap training. The RJ's are a Lorenzo wet dream! Change it on your side, stop waiting for us to do it for you....

And the blame game continues...........
I think you'd have a hard time trying to convince ANY regional pilot that it's expected of the legacy pilot to improve the regional CBA as your above post indicates.
So you voted NO in the mid 90's on the "RJ's for heavy jets" exchange, as well as NO on contract 2000?
All the regional pilot wants is for the legacy to take back the scope they gave away. ESPECIALLY on the mid term ESOP and contract 2000.
And as another poster indicated, look what happens when a regional MEC negotiates a better CBA for the pilot group. Let' see, COMAIR, ACA, AWAC, Pinnacle..............
Stop venting your frustration/ire/angst on the regional pilots and focus on the REAL problems. 1) Legacy management and 2) ANY legacy pilot that's willing to exchange scope to get something back in the JCBA.
