The industry is the way it is today because of the short sightedness of the previous generation, not the majority of the guys flying the little ones. I was in middle school when this was getting skrewed up, I don't recall getting to vote on your contract. You were too good to fly a little plane, and wanted raises. You guys made your bed, sleep in it.

back to the original topic, I think all the UAX pilots should get together with all the Xjet pilots, and create a JS priority putting mainline below us. I guarantee more mainline commute on express than the other way around.
