BUT, employees can send in their "awesome" travel stories for the company to use in their soon-to-be-published "travel newsletter" (READ: propaganda to be used for FA recruitment and retention)

This is a perfect example of the company using their resources to attract new hires instead of actually taking the time to improve the worst travel benefits of any comparably-sized regional airline.

Don't believe me about the "worst travel benefits" part? Well, as an example, Great Lakes employees have higher nonrev priority on Frontier than RAH's regional employees. Nice, huh?

No, all regionals are NOT the same.
