No way! I'm OK making a little, or in some eyes, a lot less money for my "sub-par" regional airline gig with "rock hard" uncomfortable seats.
At least in the US. Friend of mine said he loves it in the Middle East. Great money and work rules. If I leave, it's for the expat thing.
Fair enough. New rule: once you join a regional, you stay at a regional. Majors should only hire military pilots, corporate pilots and heavy jet pilots from the non-sched/ACMI world. Why...because those pilots got their experience from activities that didn't undermine the very job they hoped to attain.
Gee, that was easy.
