One last thing. Or your regional airline buys a larger regional airline. The bigger regional airline parks their 50 seat aircraft. 800 guys flow to mainline from said bigger regional. That leaves 2700 pilots to integrate into pilot group because both are ALPA carriers. Being a regional and both ALPA unionized, they will go by hire date. Since bigger regional has been hiring over the last two years and has a large pilot group. Anyone who was hired this last year at smaller regional will be at the bottom of a 3500 pilot group list. Since said aircraft deliveries are only 1 a month average, furlough. Now your either looking for other employment or waiting on your call back. And now your two year upgrade just went to five. At a bring home paycheck of around 30k.
