Thanks!

I'm trying to send a message to more than just the airline. I hope that others who might apply to regionals read this letter and try to run the same calculations in their case and open their eyes to what they can "look forward" to.

I hope this helps reduce the amount of applicants at all regionals, even by a little bit. Regardless of equipment, starting salaries at all regionals are below acceptable standards and sitting on your hands and crying "SJS" or throwing out sarcastic comments like Mr. Busdrvr or Pancake do nothing to make a change. When we constanly see pilots bending over and lubing up to have the consessions shoved, when it seems that ALL of the other pilots cry like babies about it but then more than you thought voted YES to the consessions you got ask yourself why our work conditions never change. Not because of management, its our own fault.

Sure i torched a bridge. But a bridge to what? A job that promises turmoil, instability and financial famine? When your bridges foundations are so rotten, so unstable it is your responsibility to build a new one. What shocks me is the amount of pilots who still happily cross the bridge knowing the condition its in. So the the next time you are offered a bridge to cross, ask yourself, is that bridge really stable enough, or is that autothrottle treating you so well that you can just keep ignoring it all?
