We wrote strike assessment checks to Comair pilots when they were out on strike to try and bring the RJ pilots closer to parity with mainline. I checked for Comair struck work while in the 72 out of CVG to help my fellow 121 pilots improve the profession. We had a "no furlough" clause in our C2K contract that gave RJ pilots unprecedented growth in addition to our pay rates...then came the RJDC that did nothing but perpetuate the "class warfare". But I guess I "sold" scope, knowing that 911, ect would put nearly all of DL's domestic lift in the boneyard. Then, after 911, the Comair MEC, refused to let furloughed DL pilots sit in the RIGHT seat to keep some income coming in. Why do I have to keep telling this story?! Cause guys keep spinning the history to fit .."Big, bad DL is screwing us. They want us to actually interview for a job, even though there are 11k guys eagerly waiting for the same opportunity. Mainline DL pilots are arrogant jerks..they don't care about the RJ guys"..yeah, right buddy!

Wow, 3 base closures, downgrades, and you had to pay to non-rev on mainline? Yeah, you had it pretty bad. How long did it take you to upgrade to the left seat? How many hours of TPIC do you have?

You're in the front of the biggest hiring wave in history..with all that experience..you can go anywhere..just don't complain if you have to actually interview for the job at UAL, AA or SWA.

Remember, this whole thread is about 9E pilots being angry that they get SPECIAL consideration for a job at Delta..

Good luck.
