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.

Do everyone a favor and retire. Everyone is tired of you not being able to park in the pad or taxi.
You clearly know how it is to work for UAX. You really think all UAX is delayed because their pilots suck? It couldn't be because rampers devote all their attention to mainline flights leaving one or two guys to unload all the bags. It definitely isn't because gate agents have to work three gates at once and delay boarding on one flight to finish the boarding of another. Fuel savings is a disaster but not because less than half of the GPUs or AC units work at UAX gates. You're right. I hope you appreciate your luck in this business being able to make several hundred thousand dollars while guys work two-three times harder than you make pennies on the dollar. Do us all a favor and take scope back. No, you won't do that because you have to pay for your third house and 1st and 2nd wife.
