Ya you're right. But think about this what ever regional you do work for (if you even work for one) or may work for in the future is a contractor just as we are. So all of your flying belongs to someone else as well and when your payscale and benefits get cut and you get furloughed or lose your job, dont expect any of us to feel sorry for you or take your side and I sure as HE!! wouldnt want to hear a complaint from you. Just food for thought.
