They want all the rewards without doing any of the hard work and taking any risk to achieve their goals.
Just as they used to get the participation trophy for just being on the little league soccer team, they now want a guaranteed job at a major just for being a regional pilot and not having to interview and earn it.
Excuse me? How about just having equality? That's what I thought the USA, unions and or associations is/are about. Most or all had some interview at what ever company they work for. Where was the DAL interview for the Western Airline pilots? According to you why should they get a guaranteed job at DAL without being interviewed by DAL first?
Not going to happen when mainline buys a regional. (Thanks ALPA!) Have to use that "similar gauge equipment" argument.
God forbid the association provide the same treatment between mainline and regional pilots. Your mainline flying is so vastly different. I am sure this was all written about in the Line Dancing books the union wants us to read.
I know I should be sorry for feeling like this. I know like you say or imply all the hard work is only at mainline or people who work at a mainline. All other jobs are easy or much easier for regional pilots. We are all just a bunch of entitlement wannabes. I'm just glad we have people like you here to mentor us. Thank you for your insight.
