Now we know that's not true.
I couldn't agree more with the way things are changing with the attitudes of pilots towards their careers, or at least towards the low standards at the regionals.
My friends couldn't believe me 10 years ago when I left the regionals during training. Apart from having a serious family issue, I just couldn't stand not getting paid and being treated like the company just didn't want me (and my classmates).
IMHO, it was "get there itis" that kept pilots at these levels for so long. Hopefully they learned their lessons and won't stand for it any longer.
