Regional pilots deserve seniority numbers, we are being held while other pilots from other airlines with less qualifications get hired.
Really? Maybe those other pilots have been networking, attending job fairs, and really trying hard to get out of the regional in which lifers are enjoying the super senior lifestyle? You can't really say they are less qualified. They are just as qualified. If anything, the guy stuck at the regional could have skeletons in the closet and/or just can't pass a major interview. Why should this person therefore be entitled to a mainline job? Those other pilots took a risk and the plunge to move on. You didn't take a risk and stuck it out for whatever personal reasons. Why should you be rewarded for that?
Or you can "wait your turn" like the Eagle guys did and spend 15 years at a commuter. No thanks! The "senior CA's" are no more qualified to be at mainline, in fact I would prefer to have the hungrier guys get the jobs over the ones who sit in their comfy RJ seat and just by virtue alone get a #.
