Just because mainline created the regionals and the road to a major job is tougher then it used to be, doesn't mean I should never have joined the industry. The industry just is what it is, now, thanks to mainline management and its pilots' agreements of the past.

It's just interesting to see the animosity towards regional guys for "celebrating" when they are finally thrown a bone by management, since it was management and mainline pilots together that created the regionals in the first place. No one is out to take away mainline benefits and screw your retirees (even if they screwed everyone else). No regional pilot group has the ability to do so. Any unpleasantness regarding flight benefits should be directed towards management.
