I was at a regional with far better solidarity to include flying the contract! CA's here need to be the rule not the exception to knowing the contract, instead its the FO"s educating the CA's, WTH is that! The places we go, the outside of the box type of things crews especially CA's are expected to perform to get the goods delivered....why are we not asking for more from what we bring to a more than profitable operation...this company makes $5 annually per share of available stock (more than FX/UPS)....Jetblue CEO interview on Bloomberg said they are happy to make $5 per ticket sold!!!!!

this place seems at times like my 6 yr old says to her 4 yr old sister..."u get what u get and don't pitch a fit"....works great for kids but here!?!? We need to get our head out of the sand...Time to nut/titty up and have some pride...it starts at the top and doesn't involve selling ourselves short any longer.
Remove the names and this should be posted on the top of every race to the bottom regional airline and we're the greatest legacy carrier msg board on APC. Great words to remind us all of our obligations to our profession and each other.
