Some of you talk like you are the only pilots to ever face a bad deal.

We have had furloughs, we have had multiple base closings and displacements. Upgrades are 7yrs and will continue to climb. We have seen "our" flying get underbid by RAH, PCL, G7, Etc. This is the world we have lived in since about 2006. While I am sorry that you have to now face the SUCK that is the regional airline model after so many years of being isolated from the whipsaw, I dont think this is the last bit of bad news you will get in your time at AE. Sorry.
