Cause you blaming the Colgan pilots doesn't make you innocent. You are part of the problem also.
I couldn't agree with you more sir!!! Regionals should be a stepping stone period. Lifers give the industry a bad name. I can't tell you how many times these guys have tried to defend their whole QOL bull crap. I am sorry, but $80 an hour to fly a Dash 8 or an RJ is not QOL especially when you can be making that as a 3rd year FO at most majors. "Well I could have gone but I didn't want to move my family." BULL CRAP!!!!! You couldn't make it at a major. You couldn't deal with being the low man at the company again. You just didn't want to deal with being an FO again and not being "in charge." You would rather have an easy to fly Dash 8 or RJ for your career and make $80-$90 an hour then to do something real with your lives. You lifers don't even try to defend it. You are bringing the industry down and you need to go find a real job.
God that felt good!!!
