It is difficult for a person who has already topped out as a regional Captain to feel any sympathy for a Delta Captain who is probably earning three times the salary.

So you have no plans to step up to a major if offered a job? I doubt that very much. The Major jobs will always be out there as people will always have to retire.
The short-sightedness of yours and that idiot sarcastic are amazing. I'd be willing to bet you'd jump at a job in the big leagues. I never aspired to work for peanuts in some cramped RJ for the rest of my career. I'd have walked away from the job if that's as far as I got.
I'm here at the majors and have every right to defend what I've earned even if it means sarcastic loses his commuter job.
I completely support the Delta & NWA Professional Aviators as they're fellow Pilots who deserve nothing less than that.
Shame on all you opportunists who only wonder "what's in it for me". A healthy career with a top-notch contract awaits you if you only had the gonads to look beyond the glareshield of your Embraer.
