It's no ones fault but ourselves and the people who continue to work at these regionals with poor work rules and pay. There are so many pilots out there thirsty for these flying jobs. The airlines know they can pay nickels and dimes to these pilots, just look at the stack of resumes that continues to grow.

More and more pilots have been getting stuck at regionals, and living out their careers there. Meanwhile, flying jobs have been slowly declining over the years at mainline, and with the exception of the recession, regional jobs continue to grow. Outsourcing of pilots not only has become popular, it has become the goal. If you were an executive at an airline, wouldnt you want to cut your costs in any way you can?

It's about time we stand up as a group and say enough is enough.

But sadly, when the doors open again for hiring in the near future, the lines will be long of pilots willing to fly for pennies. Many of us complain about our pay- about our work rules, some of us continue our jobs with the hope of a mainline career in the near future- yet it seems to grow farther and farther from reach as time goes on, and no one has does anything to improve our work situtation.
