Anyhow, hope the interview practice serves you people well for your interview at a well paying airline. Remember, there's no shame in being stuck at a regional. We've all been there. There IS shame in being a dumpster diving pilot at a 30% discount.
It is delusional to truly think that Regional pilots will stay at their crappy regional instead of joining an airline like jetblue. As long as work rules are better (and they are overall much better) and as long as pay is better (it is), regional pilots will come. Happily.
The website the minority who lost the vote at Republic had, as well as their fear mongering social media campaign, obviously failed. Failed again with the last LOA.
Same here, you will not succeed in scaring Regional/135/military pilots away as long as it is better than what others have it.
