It is not my intention to harm any Northwest pilots. Some people will sell their souls for a good opportuniy but I have no interest in doing so. Your input would be greatly apperciated.
Well, I guess you better quit your job and go back to instructing or flying checks because most mainline pilots feel that the RJ's are taking their jobs. There is definately an increase in the RJ fleets and this horse has been beat to death but, every carrier can find someone that is encroaching on their flying.
I guess what I am saying is if you want to do what many will tell you to do then you will need to quit your regional job and wait to apply to a major until they are paying 300,000 a year. Even if it takes 15 years.
I don't think any pilots I know today want to hurt any other pilot group.
