You don't get it do you? RAH is becoming a larger airline. The legacy models and pay are decreasing and dwindling.
Where was the outcry when Comair started taking MY Delta flying in the 1990's? Look where it has gone frrom there.
The Regional pay and aircraft are the new normal.
Instead of wondering if a RAH guy might not get hired by your legacy carrier - you should be concerned more with keeping your job, pay and benefits that are overpriced by today's market.
