Thanks for the tip, Skippy...you really do care!

The best therapy I could ask for is knowing that;

1. The few individuals that I do blame got what was coming to them when CMR shut down 2 yrs ago.

2. Our 2012 contract tightened scope and we're fixing our mistake by bringing flying back to mainline.

3. Good guys will be getting hired and finally getting their shot at a descent QOL and mainline pay after so many years on the RJ.

4. There's no straight flow, so hopefully it won't be you.

But you're right, 15 yrs in the right seat has given me a sense of entitlement, especially when I watch other pilots dress up in DL uniforms and fly DL pax in shiny little jets. I know it's not their fault, they're just trying to feed their family and build time to move up the ladder. I'm sure my therapist will tell me to just close my eyes and remember #1.

While I'm there, I'll make an appointment for you so you can work on your habit of blaming mainline pilots for "selling" scope to ease your guilty conscience. Remember, if you had done the right thing, you'd be sitting in the right seat of a DL ER headed across the pond and there wouldn't be the bad blood between DL mainline and RJ guys.

I think you're gonna need more than a few sessions to work it out.
