So much easier than the "why don't we work together to make the place a the career destination it shou- OH SH!T, an RSA"
Sorry for the grumpy response - my over 15:30 scheduled duty period from yesterday has me not in the best mood.
The guy literally said "
I can unequivocally say I’d rather go back to my old regional than stay here."
That isn't the 'if you don't like it then you can leave' response to someone who is slighty upset about the work rules/pay, that's someone saying they would rather go back. So you know what, go back if you hate it this much. I don't like our current situation here with lackluster pay and work rules, but I'm going to do my part to change it. What I'm not going to do is ***** about my life being miserable and how I'd rather go work somewhere else that is easily achievable right now, like getting hired at a regional.

I said I would go back TO MY OLD REGIONAL. I’ll say it again since you seem a little dense. I would go back to my old regional.
I don't know where you worked before here. You said regional, so I listed regionals, ones that have bonuses and fast upgrades.
My comprehension is fine, it's the non-stop ***** fest that gets old fast here, then when someone gets called out on it all you can do is insult and defer away from what you actually said. I quote "
I can unequivocally say I’d rather go back to my old regional than stay here. It been nothing but disappointment from pretty much day 1. "
So I say again...go back. Leave. nobody is stopping you.
Do you know how seniority works? Did you eat paint chips as a child?
Seniority? HAHA really? (Also, yet another great insult!) That's your argument now?You're willing to sacrifice years of your life and be miserable because of your arbitrary seniority number? Hey my job sucks, I hate my life here, I wish I was somewhere else, but ya know...seniority. There are plenty of pilots who left aviation entirely because they were sick of it and got into different industries. A seniority number didn't stop them from moving on with their lives.
So if you're so damn miserable, go fly 91 or 135. Plenty of non 121 jobs that pay well enough to start, especially now and you won't have to worry about seniority, either present, or lost seniority at XJT. All the Charter and Frac pilots are leaving for the airlines and those places are hurting for pilots. There's plenty of options out there. I was miserable at previous job I had and guess what, **** seniority, I left, because life is too short to be miserable all the time.
