I'll bid for whatever offers me the highest QOL and pay. QOL before pay. I'll go CRJ if it gets me home. It's up to Continental pilots not to offer it. Once it's on the table it's on the table and it will stay there. I'm in no position to speak against my company for flying them. They flew Saabs and Metroliners back in the day. It wasn't until someone decided to outsource more that they jumped at the opportunity to expand. I can't blame a company for wanting to make more money just as I can't blame pilots for wanting to make more. So to answer your question if there's a 170CA slot in IAH and I can get it you bet your ass. It's not because of small pay increase or because it's a bigger plane. It's because of QOL. I could care less if I flew a 135 so long as I was paid well. It's up to the union not to let that slot in IAH show up. People simply aren't going to quit working in some sort of silent protest.
