I propose that all the pilots who work at a substandard regional airline just quit. Do it for us, make your own point lose your job that would help us. But nobody will do that. Pilots working at those places put us in this position. We raised the bar you guys lowered it, and now you want us to fall on the sword.
The regional have changed for a long time. Gone are the days of staying at a regional for life. Closing the doors will do nothing unless all the bottom feeder regional pilots have the balls just to quit.
I talked to my rep and suggest all 9E pilots call them if they have questions the e-mails don't answer. It's a bad situation but one I believe we will get through with deep cuts. We will fight another day when the industry changes again. In closing if you are a pilot working at a bottom feeder regional look in the mirror and ask yourself have you helped the industry or hurt by taking a job where ever you work.
I love the we will fight another day when the industry changes again comment. When indiustry was changed you were in section 6 for a looooong time; only to get a ta when industry changed again. You have the record on the longest negotistions in the regional world. I just your concessions come with some cola after your concessionary contract becomes amedable another 9 years.
Also, i know this is going to sound harsh but your airlines grew in expense of the other airlines likr mesaba aca comair. I love it when you think you raised the bar.
