Can you believe that! Anyway, not trying to beat you up just trying to give you a different prospective! 25 yrs ago 90% of the flying was done via Majors now it's about 60%. Yes, the Majors gave it up however, the Commuters picked it up!! So BOTH pilot groups are GUILTY!!
You are crazy. It was given up by mainline period. Blaming the commuters for flying it is stupid. I agree we need to act together to raise pilots pay for all aircraft no matter what size company flies them but it was mainline's to give or retain.....period.
