Great more flying going to a company who treats their employees like garbage, paying pilots who are now living in the Northeast 25-35 thou a year, flying a larger airplane, and then having to tell these drooling kids bragging about their turbo-prop that Yeah sure its great you have a job but this career is complete and utter crap. As soon as you have a chance at making a nice living, some other drooling newb will do it for half the price and say "its CAL's flying". (no offense to whoever said that) The QOL afforded to colgans pilots is horrendous... HORRENDOUS! If half of you even knew how most airlines ran their operations you would be ashamed of what you have now.

It is CAL's flying but this whole regional vs regional stuff is killing any hope you might have of having an enjoyable career. I dont care who you work for or how awesome you think your plane is... you will be undercut down the line and be in the same spot as xjt, comair, ....

Thats why many people are upset at xjt... not any airline especially but the industry as a whole.
