Today in CLT a US Airways 757 purposely blocked us in a spot and wouldn't move up even at the beckoning of the ramp controller. It took us and about 5 other RJ's a ten minute wait just because the crew of one airplane wouldn't move up 100 feet. Then, when we finally get moving, we hear from other crews snide remarks about the RJ's being the "replacements".
You mainline guys need to stop this behavior and give us respect. You wouldn't have a job without us. Who do you think brings in all your connecting passengers from the little podunk towns?
We are tired of things like what happened in Charlotte today, we are tired of hearing all you whine about your seniority list and how your job and life sucks. It does nothing more than to annoy your fellow pilots and makes people view you as disgruntled old farts. Please show some respect and you shall recieve it in return.
Most of us guys on mainlines come from the regionals so stop your hate writings and grow up. No one I know of has any disrespect for regionals. We are all pilots and equal. We are all human beings and equal. Do some individuals act like jerks? Sure. But to sterotype ALL mainline pilots like that is not only childish but only hurts our own profession. It is entirely possible that the 757 had other reasons that had nothing to do with you for doing what he did. Did you ask him to move up? Tell him to come up company freq. and find out what is going on. Solutions versus wining.
You're still welcome on my jumpseat anytime though
