I think Selcall is one of the first mainline pilots I have seen on this or any board advocating that a Jet/regional carrier group of pilots sign a mediocre TA. All that is preached on the boards by the mainliners is "you guys at the regionals need more pay and better work rules"... yet this guy seems to be advocating just the opposite.
What I do know is Selcall HATES any and all regional companies and firmly believes they should be stuck flying aircraft no bigger than a Saab.
I do admire Selcall for the fact that at least he does not hide his disdain for regional pilots and their companies. Selcall some time ago stated that he would fly 76 seat jets for a comparable wage to what he is making if the QOL was better... well there in lies the rub....mgt is not gonna pay you the same money to fly a 76 aircraft as it does to fly a 150 seat aircraft....... and thats why we have essentially "B" scale airlines.
Oh and those "struck" routes... Selcall.... will be struck routes mainline cant cover them after the fact... well I guess they could but that would be struck work... no way around it.
