That is the problem with the fee for departure game. As soon as an airline becomes a halfway decent place to work you lose all of your flying to a bottom feeder.
You must work for CAL mainline, right? Why else would you call the flying yours? Regionals do now own rights on routes.
Funny how Xjt pilots feels like Colgan is taking "their" flying. The same argument can be made by Cal mainline pilots who lost a lot of
their flying to XJT. The diference is that the CAL pilots truly lost
what was once theirs, no regional, regardless of Colgan,XJT, etc
owns or is entitled to any flying
Bottom line. By 2013 CAL will probably have 60 Q400 in operations and oil will be higher once the recession ends. What is your airline going to do in order to stay profitable? Continue to kick and scream against the "bottom feeder" Colgan?
