I am not jealous of delta pilots. I am happy they are reaping the rewards of sound management. At least DL is talking steps to shed RJ flying. Rumor is we are in the process of doing the same. Do hope we can achieve a modicum of their success.
In the meantime what is your plan B? Where are you going when Expressjet rolls over? I've been at UA over 25 years. I've seen plenty express carriers go TU. You might be the next.
Have a good weekend.

Ah yes, the old "dressing down" by the mainline pilot who clearly knows everything and cannot wait to tell RJ pilots how inferior we are and express his hope that our entire airline fails. You're a disgrace to our profession and I'm amazed that people like you in a position that you're in would rather rudely lecture somebody else than lend a hand to most RJ pilots who are doing whatever it takes to get to the next level. Keep up the better than thou attitude, it will get you far in life.
