[quote=Window_Seat;227313]The point here is that we are replacing the jobs that we got in this industry to get. Pilots have a choice of where to work. Bottom line, don't work at a place that has crappy work rules for the quick upgrade time. We are/were professionals and don't need to put up with this BS when times are on labors side nowadays. Just because you have 250 doesn't mean you need to go out and work for Mesa, TSA, and Pinnacle. Management is still cashing in on the dream that we will get that quick PIC and go on to make mucho bucks flying the heavy metal. Look at the trends, everybody is expanding at the "Regional" level. A lot more of us will be "Regional" pilots. Once we are OK with that, maybe everyone should start negotiating pay rates that you can make a decent living at a "Regional".[/quote]
