There is a chance in this model 2 10 year guys are going to fly together, but that doesn't mean the price tag isn't fair,.
Equipment size won't matter, it will be up to mainline alpa guys to decide on scope. You want a piece of larger airplanes? Then its up and out for you. Go to mainline.
Bryan Bedford of Republic proposed a flattened scale just a few short months ago. According to him, union said no. Anyone know the details of what he was proposing?
On the surface, many of you are going to be appalled by a recommendation like this, but think about this. What if you have to start over at a new regional because you want to move, you hate the company, the company goes out of business, etc... think about how much easier it would be to do just this. Right now, you are screwed, it's HARD to leave after the first year.
I've been making the same proposal for years. The CA's at the top will have none of it. The only way it will work will be a new regional.
