The more you guys try to fight and save regional airlines, the longer these places will linger and degrade the profession. If the regionals continue to get worse, my hope is that no one will want to work for them. That, coupled with the pilot shortage, will hopefully cause these cesspool regionals to collapse and put the jobs back where they belong.
Jesus, what a blue ribbon post of hypocrisy. Now that YOU are at a "major", you belittle those still there as if you were never there and as if it is THEY that are dragging down the profession. You apparently are oblivious to your own little contribution to the existence of regional carriers, especially since they got you where you are and my guess is based on your comments, you didn't lift a finger to make yours a career option for those who don't have the option to go to a major.
That's quite a high horse you're screaming down to the unwashed from there pal.
