I would rather fly for Spirit. That's the business model proven to be successful in a good or bad economy. The rejects at mainline will hurt you later on. That's how dumb you guys are! If mainline had direct flows with their regionals, the LCCs would have a difficult time growing. I fly the same passengers you, so don't be a smart ass! I've more than earned my spot to go to any airline I want...more than most new hires at mainline. I never applied to work at United and I hope they don't buy a regional or have any direct flows which will hurt LCCs. Most pilots I fly with can't stand your company and the lack of respect they display towards regional pilots. But, we still outperform United in both performance and customer service. United doesn't deserve XJT or Skywest. The rest of the industry needs regional pilots to work for them, by the time you and other mainline companies figure it out, it will be too late!
