In the regional flying industry no one steals your flying. It was not yours to begin with. All regional flying is much like any other contract work. You are only there until the contract is expired or terminated, or until someone else shows up that can do it faster and cheaper. We are all indeed "contract workers". When we all work for the company with the name on the tail (and not a subsidiary of that company), things will change, but not before. No such vision is in sight.
