Serious question: there’s not nearly as much hysteria and fear of furloughs/end of the world predictions as there is in the “major” forum. Are the regionals primed to better whether this event? Are RJs more profitable during economic downturns? I’ve read regionals actually grow during downturns. How does ALPA and other unions allow this when pilots from their respective carrier are on the street?
Typically regionals have been doing good, but this is a totally new scenario so no one knows...
Problem as i see it over at the majors is that the ones that are in danger are they ones that have left the regionals and given up a lot of to go over. Had they staid where they were they would probably be senior enough to withstand this hardship but now they might end up on the street. However here at the regionals, if you are at the bottom you are at the bottom, this is where you started and you are along for the ride, there is not much you can do about it and there is not much to regret as well...
I was planning for 2020 to be my year, started preparing, updated my apps, logbooks and now i am where i am and i have no idea when the hiring will be picked up again.
