Then is it your position that regional pilots are responsible for any loss of any pilot jobs to majors or was it the loss do to scope and management? Some regionals did even offer help to furloughed mainline pilots by flow back at AE and XJ. Pinnacle also offered pilot positions without much test or interview. Show me any regional that has tried to bully any major and take jobs. So there was help offered and given.

If you wish to maintain standards of your hiring process to get the type of quality pilots you want, that's one thing. But if you want to come in and take over like AA did to TWA and try to kick everyone out simply because you have power and money or some inherent right, that's another. I don't feel my job is any less important at a regional then any major pilots is. Or is it just your intention that because your plane is bigger, your salary is higher that you should be afforded or entitled to more privileges and rights then any pilots at regionals?
