Its a stepping-stone to a major and the company knows it and treats the pilots accordingly. The pilots act accordingly and don't make the union stand up to the company. If you don't like your lot in life change it. Become a union rep and fight for your fellow pilots; move to another airline; or do something else. You all need to grow a pair and do something positive. An outsider looking in.

You are what is wrong with the regional industry. Your are flying people around to the same airports in Jets, and you have the same qualifications as the mainline pilots, but you think regionals are a stepping stone. A regional pilot is a career and should be treated so it the industry will never attract new pilots.
