HA you ain’t serious.

Sounds like the 60 yr old mainline captain not understanding why people “choose” to work for regionals. I was asked this question by three separate mainline guys. Sir, I “chose” to work here so you can collect that 6 figure salary....

Then, the more in-tune with reality mainline guys will tell ya it’s just a “stepping-stone.” If that we’re the case, we would see a lot of consistency. But, we have 3-4 yr RJ FO’s going to legacies, military guys with zero 121, 10 yr RJ CA’s, etc.... that’s not consistent, it’s not a stepping stone, it’s luck of the draw.

Can’t put all the blame on the big executives for this model though, we can thank ALPA as well.

I love my job, but this industry is hilarious at times.
