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!!!
Somebody is upset they haven't upgraded yet. You just proved the point that regionals should NOT be a stepping stone. It should be a career choice.

You know, you do sound like someone in management trying to convince everyone it is OK to work at the regionals for peanuts, because pilots will only spend a couple of years there.
