lol devalues the regional industry? There was value to the regionals? Last time I checked most regional FOs live in poverty and CAs barely make it. Let me tell you how it works in the real world. In the real world, when you lose a job you can't be expected to move your wife 2 kids into your moms basement and ride it out on principle. Are you kidding me? Not to mention there is nothing wrong with GJ flying, it's not struck work. All of you guys that are bashing, have an alternative, therefore have no interest in going to GJ in the first place. Don't confuse that with you not willing to go to GJ. Most however have no choice other than to keep flying to support their families and the certain life style they're used to and more importantly stay current. If people told their wives/kids who were used to big cars, second houses and free weekend flights that they'd much rather work at home depot or even join the reserves because of a petty regional feud they would be laughed out of the house and probably divorced the next day. People need to open their eyes, no one is in a position to judge, especially REGIONAL pilots.
