Probably back in the day when mainline carriers had some allegiance to their regional carriers. Not so much in today's RFP/CPA cut throat environment. Besides, Mesa is operating under a bankruptcy CBA and the regional pilots have very little leverage. Regionals haven't seen upgrades like this since before 9/11.
Since you brought up self-respect......... what do you suggest, to those coming in to the regional industry, do to maintain said self-respect?
