I don't know where you get off saying RAH is a terrible regional. Maybe you're just flamebaiting, but thanks for diverting attention from the original subject.
It was a comparison... and you are assuming it's mine; try again.
Now, add this to the mix. The AMR/Eagle contract is 13 years old and pay is NOT one of the things that was discussable during amendment rounds...
so, it is about time you caught up.... it only took you what 13 years?
The E190 is flown by mainline at USAir, and at a National Carrier, Jet Blue.
Adding it to the "Regional" fleet is a concession, a step backwards, and basically a slap at anybody who has every wanted to keep growth at mainline carriers... RAH has succeeded at making a Regional a career stop intead of a stepping stone.
What kind of union do you people have that you are willing to let him get away with a "permanent MEL?" No wonder you keep getting larger planes instead of stepping up to a mainline job.
