your correct! And I should NOT have called Rick a scab, even if it was a joke on the EXTREME missuse of the word by young regional pilots who need drama, and I am sorry for doing so....because he is in no way one....nor is a GJ pilot....however since it seems to be the norm on the regional forums to wrongly use the word , and to point out the complete stupidity of the whole thing that why I chose to use it...to point out that everyone steals flying blames it on the pilots

bring it on all your crybaby regional FOs.... most of you make me embarrassed to work for a regional carrier. I recently JS on Southwest and the Captain said the next time he hears a regional pilot cry about this whole thing he is going to kick him off the airplane.....now THAT is funny stuff!! Keep on crying about this whole thing, and so called educating the masses...it seems to be going over like a turd in a punch bowl....i love it!

Regional flying is temp work and contract flying.....if you think otherwise enjoy....EVERYONE 'steals' everyones flying in the regionals, its not the pilots fault. GJ has a union, and the entire thing has been taken to court and PROOVEN ( sp wrong just for you buddy) to NOT be a violation of TSA scope and contract....so anyone who works there , reguardless of the time the started.....is not guilty of anything.....pilots are not to blame here.....its the companies.

I do know the history of GJ, and I also know the history of AE.....AE was formed to screw the AA pilots over....plain and simple...lower wages, crappy work rules but flying all AAs old routes....yes the pilots at AA 'gave' up that flying.....but do you think they did so without being pressured into it by the company?? They almost went on strike over AE getting jets....

One of the most humorus things I hear on this subject is : " the GJ pilots chose to work there and screw over fellow pilots" ...I call BS here....however if that is true then so is this : Anyone who choses to work at Skywest or AE or any other regional that grew at the expense of mainline OR at the expense of another regional carrier is doing the same thing...." there is nothing I can do about what my company does" isnt a valid excuse based on the whole 'GJ pilots screwed over fellow pilots BS'

In the mean time , I will enjoy watching the baby faced FOs out there get all hussy about a GJ pilot that is doing the same thing they are doing....fun times!

Once again...rick I was wrong in my earlier post...reguardless of my intent, I just am curious about how a pilot working for a non union carrier that takes planes from an ALPA carrier can call other pilots names....even though none of this is entirely the fault of pilots.....

ps all the spelling errors are for my little buddy! wipe your snotty nose off and have fun!
