Regionals fly routes that are too thin to justify major airlines. They fly 50-70 seat airliners.
YOU, on th other hand, fly a 100 seat Ejet for regional pay. So, in essence, B6 is now undercutting regional Union contracts which sucked in the first place.
What's amazing is how you DUCKS can look yourself in the mirror.
Yeah those Comair routes out of Cincinatti to places like LGA, EWR, MCO, IAD, etc are real duds.
That's some first year pay you guys pay your nuggets. How can you sleep at night? And only $1.30 per diem for day trips??? What a raw deal. And no premium pay either. That means our 5-year 'bus captains make the same monthly pay (based on our average 82 hour line)as yours within a few hundred dollars and don't pay the 2% toilet flush to ALPA.
Regionals hire folks who are willing to work for much less. Isn't that what you keep saying is bringing down the industry. Unless you want to get into the whole argument that 50 lives are less valuable than 150.
