You beat me, it took me ten years to see my first jet and two companies folding along the way. There may be a lot of right out of flight school 1000 hour types here and at all the other regionals, but we're not all like that. I've never claimed to want anything instantly, I've worked long and hard to get to where I am. I was more than qualified to accept a position in the right seat of this jet. You guys got shafted by capitalism, no doubt about it. But you didn't get shafted by the pilots at Republic. Not a single pilot here hired on with the intention of taking your job! Whether you choose to see it or not right now through all your emotion, all pilots at all the regionals were shafted a little by what's happening. The smart ones here realize it and believe me, we lament it. I'm not downplaying at all the significance of what's happening to you and your peers so don't jump down my throat for stating a fact. For the final time, you have and always have had my support.

Some of you are also building quite a reputation for yourselves with the unearned childish attacks of RAH pilots. How fortunate for you that you can hide behind your anonymity.
