LOL! Trying to pull pilots together in one direction is like trying to HERD CATS!!

BTW, any one of you guys could make over 60,000/yr flying a 207 in Alaska, with paid company housing and bennies. That's at the entry level op, with 20/10 block days. Who here in regional world has 10 days off, together and protected, each month in their first year? Hmm? And jumpseating? The options are there, sometimes they're hard to find.

It's really sad watching what happens in our chosen career field. I've been watching it happen for 30 years, both on the maintenance side and the flight side. The original post was an exasperated "what next?" head shake, and I'm behind him. When we stop covering our own butts and start covering our collective butts, we might all take this industry in the direction WE want it to go. Until then, it's like herding cats. Good luck to us all.

Cheers,
