Calling your regional better than mine is like saying you're the smartest kid on the short-bus.
The point is this.
You are settling for less and just accepting how it is. How about a revolution? Perhaps challenge the system? How about asking for more. For restoring this profession. Sure you didn't release scope (which was a mistake by the major pilots) but since it was released you're riding your 70+ seater it all the way to your piggy bank. By comparing your paycheck to TSA, thats real impressive.
For the record, ExperimentalAB you trusted that your CEO Jerry would be better than ALPA, but he is not. Unless you can explain how the pay proposal is acceptable.
Also, for the record:

Conversely, during my short stint at Trans States I could expect to credit 95 hours w/a few more days off per month...
Just curious what one can expect to credit every month with the various Regionals...examples of being both pro-active, as well as lazy in regards to your schedule are welcome!
Remember saying this back in October?

Do you just love Skywest, because to get by you have to work less than the min days off per month? Is that why you love it!? Well due to the fact that
some of us do want to have "much of a life outside of work at the moment LoL..." I want to thank you again for not only whoring yourself out, but also for thinking its funny. LoL.
Definition of unnessesary whoring yourself out to Jerry and friends:
