Why did you feel the need to take it personal? I'm not attacking regional pilots; just Regional Airline operators like Colgan/Gulfstream and the 0 to hero flight schools in 12 months. its the reason we have such low wages/crappy QOL. Bringing down the industry as a whole
I guess I mis understood what you were getting at, and yes I know some professional mainline guys, but unfortunatly their are some out there that think the evil regional pilots are to blame for all the worlds ills. I guess I took the statment about scumbag regionals, to mean you were calling the pilots that not necessarily the airlines themselves. If I mis read it my bad....
on a lighter note, im starting to see the arguments that many are making about pay, qol and the like have some validity, and im learning more and more about this industry the longer the issues are going on, mabye someone should publish a book "Airline Flying cliffs notes", and I dont mean how to fly the plane, but rather all the other issues that most of us were unaware of when we got here....
