First, ToiletDuck doesn't speak for a vast majority of us.

Second, we're working on the pay, just like many other pilot groups. Unfortunately like the other groups, it's an uphill battle. Made even worse by 418 mesa pilots that voted in a horrible contract. This contract isn't great, but it kept us on one certificate (Republic was supposed to be a whipsaw ala GoJet/Freedom A). There are many here (myself included) that will vote no on anything that doesn't have a significant pay raise and a number of QOL improvements.

Third, a vast majority of us see right through Bedford. If he wants this airline to grow, he's going to have to pay us accordingly. He's just as ruthless as JO and others. He just uses religion to make himself look better. If he were a man of his word we wouldn't have 120 still on the street while posting a profit.

Last, will somebody please explain to me why the 170 is so evil compared to the CRJ-700/900? Is it the engines on the wings?
