Either way, I have absolutly NO desire to ever fly for a mainline pax carrier. If they get stapled, great for them. If not, they knew what they were getting into.
You're right, why do the same job for more money and better benefits? Makes sense to me.
To each their own, but I'm having trouble deciphering this statement. Assuming you don't have 20 years invested at your respective regional and you aren't 55 years old, why would one feel this way? I've done the regional thing for quite some time in the past and let me be the first to admit it is a whole different ball game. I would guess that you LOVE being captain if you know what I mean. Once some get a taste of it, they have a hard time putting a monetary value on it because otherwise they seem to be ignoring basic math and numbers don't lie. That or they have a few skeletons in the closet. Those that can, do.
