Yes, and no.
Did it happen? I have no idea. People tend to tell you what you want to hear when they are in your jumpseat.
Do they care about what happens at the regional? You would be surprised. The regional pilot today, stands in their ranks in the future.
As an example: certain people from the last Eagle MEC regime that sold us out during the bankruptcy, are finding themselves not voted into APA when they flow. They are seen as a weak link when only strong ones are wanted. It turns out anyone can protest the base vote when you are up for admittance. You can reapply after six months, but the same protests will most likely still exist.
I'm not saying this is the case for certain regionals, I'm saying it CAN happen.
