I think you guys missed his point. His point was that pilots here say “my regional had better work rules and QOL”, and he was simply rebutting that idea. Yes, one can cherry pick certain specific aspects of our contract and say that “my last regional airline did this or that better”, but in an overall sense, no. ALL of my Regional Airline pilot friends work more hours and more days than I do, and for a lot less money.
With that said, we are not working for a Regional, we are working for the largest airline in the world, one that many consider to be having an “”off” year while profiting a •mere• 3 billion dollars or so.
Our work rules and total compensation need to at least match Delta’s, if not surpass them.
