Thanks, but you are wasting your time attempting to explain the facts to someone who has already formed an opinion independent of the facts.

How many regional partners of mainline airlines have attempted to close ranks against management only to see the mainline pilots attempt to throw the regional pilots to the wolves at the first sign of danger?

Pan Am used to have a farm club agreement with Pan Am Express. Continental had a very strong program with Express. All those programs are gone. Management has pitted mainline pilots against regional pilots and the mainline pilots are loving it.

Is it any wonder more and more regionals are telling mainline pilots to either lead, follow or get the heck out of the way?
