I wish the eagle pilots the best of luck in this. I am glad you guys are geting new aircraft. However, you are not bending over like several other regionals have done and are currently still doing just to get new shiny planes. I thank you for standing up and you have my support. As a regional pilot though, I just have one thing to say here.... Don't we all want growth at the mainline level. I mean, that is what we should be fighting for to stop the growth at regionals like RAH. Like I said already, I am glad you guys are getting the 25 planes or whatever because that means your pilots on the street will be getting a paycheck in the next few months. I just don't want to fly an RJ forever with RJ pay, benefits and work rules. The work rules may change soon but who knows, thats another thread! Yes, we need to stand up and fight for the contracts we have in place but also try and build the top of this industry again like the pilots before us had...Unfortunately, trying to get management to do anything to help any of us is like crossing a bridge to nowhere with no end in sight. Good luck and fly safe!
