Maybe I’m just a glass half full guy but it won’t hurt my feelings to see all regionals flounder in the next decade due to staffing issues. Including the one I’m at. Regionals shouldn’t have gotten this big anyway, all the 175’s fly a majority of routes that mainline carriers fly during peak times. That’s what we regional pilots are now, fill ins for long thin routes so management can test the waters cheap, on the backs of hard working guys and gals making a 1/3 of the pay.
Edit : Please don’t take that as me not caring about the senior regional pilots, because I do. In fact I care so much I hate the fact that right now people are topped out at 1/3 the rate of other pilots flying the same routes, in and out of the same airports providing a “streamline” experience for the passengers
