From the ‘Time for ALPA’ thread at the American Airlines forum:




It comes as a shock to many regional new hire candidates that your brethren at the major you are code-sharing with generally does NOT look upon you as a junior colleague, but rather as a competitor - flying passengers that rightly ought to be flown by the pilots at the major and by doing so undercutting them and keeping their own wages lower. It doesn’t much matter if your connection is a “guaranteed interview”, an “Aviate” program, or a flow. And those guys have their own agendas. Don’t doubt there are guys on furlough right now (or at least will be again in 3 months) who would be delighted to slide down into the senior slots of their affiliated regionals rather than being on furlough fir a year or two.

That’s just reality.

it’s only one of the reasons that Khooj’s cheerleading is so ridiculous.
