Individual pilots go work for regionals because it’s what’s best for them at that moment. One pilot refusing to participate in the system isn’t going to move the needle and they’ll just hurt their own career. A large group of pilots banding together to try and change the system to advance the pilot profession can have an effect though. A grouping, or a compact, or… what’s the word I’m looking for… oh, a union.
First, of all, finally someone who responded to the issue who didn't fly off the rails into a emotional rant and insult hurling dissertation. So, that is refreshing.
The irony comes when those large groups of said pilots banding together to change the system, used that said system to advance them to where they are.
Oh, and note to all of those who are going to turn into Regan MacNeil after reading this, instead of losing your minds and thinking you can throw insults my way to ruffle my feathers, keep on topic. Lot of you have a tendency to get very emotional and stray from topic at hand.
