F'd over implies the employees at those regionals were owed something. The only thing my employer owes me is the pay I am due for the pay credits I have worked per our CBA. They do not owe me a job, a line, or a Captain slot.

On the other hand, I do not owe Mesa anything more than what I am legally required to do per the CBA/company policies/procedures to earn my pay--nothing more, nothing less.

If someone feels they have been "f'd over" they have the option to make a lateral transfer to another regional or go work in another industry that meets their desired QOL/pay/schedule.

If all pilots adopted this very cynical viewpoint on what it is we do as regional pilots, and removed emotions from the situation, you'd see way fewer people like FaceBiter in here wasting time and emotional energy trolling a bunch of Mesa pilots b/c he's sad his career moves didn't work out the way ours did.
