Different mission, different training.
That's what I said. I would add different experience. Different job.
You really think the Legacy wide-body flight crews are the best pilots of the entire airline, give me a break.
Never said it.
Don't sit here and tell me one leg a day is harder than 7, I don't care if you have to find your position using cellestial navigation, one leg is easier than 6-7 a day.
Never said it. However, I have done 10 leg days in the regionals. I have done 1 leg days over the ocean. I beg to differ with your position. You apparently do not have experience in both.
Your problem is that you think your crap doesn't stink and you deserve to be called the better pilot cause you sit in front of a bigger plane.
Nope. Never said it. I said the larger plane justifies it's higher compensation. It requires more knowledge and danger, while allowing less margin for error than your jet. it's also faster--which is also part of the basis for pay on ALPA pay scales.
If you want to justify higher pay, stop whining to us, you are preaching to the choir. If your life is so hard, why don't you bid back to a smaller plane, or if you can't, why don't you take a posh CRJ-900 job, I'm sure Go-Jets would love to have a guy like you.
Thus, the regional mentality. Go back and read again. Who said anything about being on a widebody currently. Who is griping about life being hard. Who is the ego-freak here? You guys are the ones who brought up the disparity issue, I explained it, and now you are the ones getting your panties in a wad. Yet another example of the inferior mentality of the message-board types of regional pilots. You guys have the mindset of fire-ready-aim instead of taking a deep breath an examining things for what they actually are, not what you think they are.
