With only two crappy bases, a bottom of the industry contract, flow now stalling, and upgrades MOVING BACK DOWN, pretty much, we're now looking at 6-8 upgrade, and flow, well distant future. Why would you want to come here. Whatever crap this company has to offer, every other regional has more to offer.

Flow= if you're going to wait 10 years, when you can go somewhere else, upgrade quick and begin to apply elsewhere, then you have issues

Upgrade= 6-8 years, even the traditional crappy airlines have better then that

Pay= we're in the bottom 3 of the lowest paid airlines

Contract= pretty bad

Management= our two main guys, are qualified to be low level management at best. They have created a very hostile environment here. Yes, AAG calls the shots, but our management still had to create a culture, all they have created is hate.

Future= nothing, regionals are contracting, we will not grow our fleet much. We may switch to more of a 175 fleet, but we'll dump other planes.

Reserve= sucks everywhere, just sucks a little more here. If I was on reserve here, I would leave.

Schedules= CRJ is 11-12 days off, one end commutable at best.
Like I said anything we have to offer every other airline can offer and offer better. For all of us waiting to flow, we will be behind those that upgrade and move on. United has hired a ton of our pilots, Jetblue takes our fo's all the time, whenever I JS on spirit, one of the pilots is former eagle. Yet, all of us waiting for flow are still here *****ing on this site.
