PS. Regional pilots never stole anything they were given the routes by MAINLINE Bean counters..................why pay a 737 rates when there are people lining up to fly CRJ-900's for less than half the rates..........We all get ****ed off at each other, "you stole my flying blah blah blah", Lets not forget, we as pilots have very little say in anything! Its the Greedy few in upper management that pit us against each other and watch each regional whor themselves out for a lower price.................The regionals fly as many jets as they do, both large and small because of MAINLINE MANAGEMENT..........
