Do you mean like all the original RJ pilots that flocked to take those mainline routes?

This is a really interesting time in the industry. There are going to be more losers than winners as the majors rationalize their express feed.

The PSA pilots don't appear to have done anything that thousands of other RJ pilots have done over the years in taking jobs at rates less than mainline wages in the hopes of getting a mainline job.

The other carriers should look at their leadership for putting them in these positions. The RJ cost structure doesn't support high wages or long longevity. At some point PSA will be in the same position as Eagle and there will be another carrier that will accept terms to take the flying away. It is the regional cycle of life.
