I don't post much....mostly read....but I think that what every RAH basher has to say is hilarious. It seems like its mostly guys from companies that took concessionary contracts to get new airplanes. RAH has secured new aircraft without having to sign a crappy contract....

For other pilots to call RAH "bottom feeders" is bullspit. Have you ever thought that these wholly owned only get new airplanes is because they know that's the only way your company will survive? I mean honestly...do what daddy says right? "Clean the garage son or you don't get the car for the weekend"...clean the garage and you get to go out with Mary whatever her name is....Point being Mary might be ugly as heck, but you're lucky to have a date and a car to get you there....

There is no point in arguing which regional to go to...because in my eyes they all suck. You just got to pick a place where you think your QOL will be the best. Go to one that you think will stay afloat 5 years out and put your time in. Thats IF you can get to the majors.People come to this industry thinking they will get out and make $200,00.Which is a far cry from the truth.

As far as flow through i think thats a myth. Dangle the carrot as they say...if in fact thats what you go there for...are you sure you want to work for the company thats flowing through? Seems like taking a crappy TA because of "flow through" or "preferential hiring" is putting all your eggs in one basket.

My point to all this is that nobody knows the best regional to go to. Its all about timing. With that being said...regional airlines suck....all of them. I have heard guys from PSA, Compass, RAH, Expressjet, Skywest....they all complain. So there should be no more "bottom feeders", guys that take "concessions", or this and that. We are all in the same industry and we can't make it better by arguing about who is the biggest turd in the toilet. we are all in there and we all stink. Put your time in. Stay afloat and hopefully get flushed to a major.
