However, since I am at a regional airline and this is my livelihood I get upset and frustrated by the fact that mainline makes us feel like little pee-ons and worthless and NOT a part of the team.
We are a part of the Delta team (without Daddy Delta I don't get a pay check) and for RA to say that Delta is doing well at NO expense to their emplyees is crap.
As a Former Comair Guy, I can safely say the best way to get to the Major airlines is stay away from Comair. I told this to my FO's 3 yrs, "go to republic or Chat. or somewhere all you will do here is collect dust." Every guy said the same thing, "I dont want to give up my seniority or start over (most guys had less then 2.5 yrs at comair)." No telling where they would be at. So, my friend if you want to get to the major airlines, get a job where you can get PIC quick, with in 2.5 yrs--Most everyone should be hiring by then. DO NOT SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND ROT AT COMAIR
