And for all those guys on the seniority list that have no worries of loosing their jobs or position will never do it. They will look out for themselves first always. It has been proven over and over again. The union will never get the vote and management will never put something on the table that is going to cost them more money. So for all you guys out there who keep apologizing because you fly for a regional STOP!!! You did not create this situation, people way older and supposedly way wiser have created this monster that we now know today. The regional pilot did not choose to operate E-170’s E-190’s or CRJ 900’s. The regional pilot did not make the decision to fly from ATL-CVG, or MEM-PHX; Major Airline management made that decision and their unions signed off on it to save themself from what ever impending doom was to come. Honestly a good number of Regional pilots out there today started at these airlines when they only operated small turbo props. In the end the Majors will keep using regional’s and as long as big daddy keeps giving up scope regional airlines will continue to grow; and as long as they are around they will bid one another against eachother for the lowest price. You want to see something change it is going to have to start at the top.
