And if you want to be mad at someone, dont be mad at the regional. If I understand it correctly it is essentially the mainline company that decides who gets the routes. If you get this upset about this kind of stuff its probably time you get out of this field and move on.... Dont ruin it for the rest of us...
First of all, INDY Blows Giants are the champions,
secondly It does matter when regional airlines have poor QOL and low pay. Every contract looks to "up" the current best one, yet if all the contracts are terrible, what do we as a pilot group have to base our requirements on for a good contract when we go to management??????, especially in Section 6 (Money). You can look at regionals all you want as a stepping stone, but look how short-lived this "mini-hiring" boom was at the majors...........You never know how long you will be at a company, you might as well make it tolerable
