Hardly.
Regional prior to DAL. During furlough worked at a regional and was in their training department. Read any of my posts and ask why I make DAL look bad or you look bad? When Comair struck, I defended that action and educated the Captains who knew nothing about the regional industry how important that strike was for the entire industry. Sadly, no other regionals followed their lead and the Comair pilots have been decimated as a result. Who is worse for the industry, Comair when they were making $118/hour at top end pay or Pinnacle who has endured a 4 year contract negotiations for $69/hour? Who has expanded and who has contracted?
My post above was directed at the guy who thought we shouldn't rebrand the airline because it costs money. The reality is its not the painting but the 50 seater itself that's a money losing airplane for DAL. Don't believe that? Watch the reality set in the next few years.
My wish, is that the regionals as separate seniority lists would cease to exist and that if you fly on an RJ or 777 its all one list. But if as you say, I'm all over the board, maybe I should just change my tune and adopt the populist mindset.
