the pilots that flew those routes before you at xjt were paid almost double what you are receiving and the pilots before xjt were Continental pilots and they were paid almost double what we get at xjt. Do you see the self defeating trend we are in as a profession? I really dont think any regional getting more flying is something to be excited about. The CAL pilots took a shot in the nuts when XJt was allowed to fly 275 RJ's and their pilot group will never recover that flying. The lowest pay and the worst work rules win for that flying now. Today that is colgan but when you guys get a contract and QOL worth a damn you will be undercut by a mesa, great lakes, etc who will be trying to fix their "inadequacies."

Its great for you guys in the short term but your on drugs if you think your going to get a round of applause from anyone at another company. Good luck fixing your inadequacies.
