Mainline pilots get raises that far supersede the regional cuts being asked, don't give me this crap that 50 seaters are not cost effective and that regionals are not made to make that much. Blah, blah, blah. We regionals pilots fly over 50% of the domestic departures often across 2 time zones and many times over 1000nm. We are not regional airlines. I have started a day one the East cost and finished on the west coast, that's not regional to me.

But whatever, keep bending over for management due to fear. Have pride, self respect and dignity. I am not sure what other professions are willing to accept concessions time after time.
