No, thank you, been there done that. You can go to XJT, Envoy and Skywest for the honor of working for a company with a superior contract. A contract that is inferior compared to mainline. I'm sorry, but sitting in the right seat of any regional airline sucks when you have the skill and experience to be in the left.
I have over 6000 hrs SIC time and 9 years with three different regionals and still do not have one hour of turbine PIC. I've been through furloughs, concessions, and downgraded during upgrade training. None of us are entitled to career progression even though we work hard and get people safely from A to B. All I am saying is don't throw rocks in glass houses if you go to to lowest paying regional and don't get the aircraft and upgrade times you think you are entitled to. Most of what I am saying is in response to the Mesa crowd hoping for more aircraft while insulting other carriers' CBAs.
