For all the red headed stepchildren of the former NWA... we're used to the boarding priority of being below mainline. In general, it hasn't been THAT bad. A missed F or Biz upgrade here or there, but generally it hasn't mattered. Where it has mattered was commuting between the hubs and with that you had to get creative or hope some mainline pilot could take the FA jumpseat if it was available. Thank goodness for our p-space commuter clause!

No loss for the f-NWA Airlinkers. But when anyone loses something they've enjoyed, it's a blow to morale. This is just another kick in the head for those at Comair and having taken kick after kick for year after year at Mesaba, I know what it's like and it 'aint fun. Do all you mainliners have to have such attitude about it? Jeez. Stop giving away scope and maybe there indeed will be a job to hope for at mainline! And quit throwing the "well, leave your regional and you can enjoy the good life." BS.
