This. Spot on.
The irony though, the very same companies all of us want to one day be working for are the ones that are causing the inferno that seems to be "life at a regional" because they're greedy and do it because they can.
The yes and no votes that come up once in a while are simple formalities -- at the end of the day nobody really gets a vote and there is no win win, only what the majors want.
There's a game being played on you all. Play it right and get out. So much whining and finger pointing against fellow pilots who were put against the wall on a vote - so sad to see people gang up against eachother.
Things are changing for the better, every month it seems as if regionals keep upping the benefits to join them...just watch and see - things will finally get to where they should have been since day 1. They have no other choice, and that is new territory for once.
