The best thing is to just keep your head high and take it with a grain of salt. All regional pilots shouldn't be bagging on each other on how each other like we are not worthy aviators. In the end of the day we are all pilots and we all fly people from point a to point b safely and efficiently. If they say that you work for a crappy company just remember that before we were born mainline carriers created the whole regional airline systems to find a cheaper source of flying from mainline. It's not our fault that this system was created 20+ years ago and this is the one of the only options we have to get to a major.
Just remember that we all have the goal of getting in and out of a regional ASAP. Majors really don't care who you fly for they just want to see
What credentials you have to offer.
As for coming to Mesa welcome. We may not be the best paid or have the best contract but hopefully our
MEC's get working on it to improve it. As just regular pilots the
Most we can do if we are not on the negotiating team is to vote No on anything that is sub par. I am sure with our current pilots the next offer that does come will be voted against just like our other fellow pilots at eagle, xjet, and republic until all the regional managers realize that no pilot group is ready to take crap anymore.
Hang in there bud. There is always light in the end of the tunnel. There will always be haters and negativity, it's just about how you deal
With it and come out stronger at the other end!
