I have to ask because I feel as though there are some (not necessarily you), but there are some at Eagle that feel as though any regional flying American has you are entitled to, even if they are routes that us at Trans States flew for as TWE. Not trying to ensight a riot, just asking.
Not trying to encite a riot, but it is the companies such as TSA, Chittyaqua, Republics.... etc that are the problem. As long as some fly by night company is willing to fly in somebody elses colors for cheaper costs, then the industry/profession will continue to slide down. If those companies were not there, the wholly owned companies would be forced to grow. As it is, they just use the subcontractors as a weapon to whipsaw the pilot groups.
As for "your" flying. AMR bought all of it. Look at their histrory. They have destroyed every airline they ever bought. The fact that they let you keep flying this long is amazing.
