I'm not talking about lakes I'm talking about you. Preaching on here about the difficulties at Lakes with the union and pilots all with less than a year experience and flying a Barby jet at a bottom feeder for a couple of months on ready reserve. Two different sectors of the industry EAS and regional airline, and now you have it all figured out. Didn't someone tell you that you'd have to live in Podunk, USA while you were at lakes flying old airplanes with possibly lower than minimum wage pay with no life? Now you're shocked? No one forced you to go to Great Lakes,

But you misunderstand me in all this, there's no one out there that would fly for less than what the other guy is getting paid, but sometimes we have to deal with what cards we're given. Not all of us are born in the right seat of the best regional(if there is one) or major. It's just amazing the mentality that just because we work at lower tier regionals we are management pilots. You work at one these regionals, are you?

The fact of the matter is that management does not care about me and I don't care about management. I do want to change things as well where things need to be changed but I'm not complaining, and looking around the industry where E190s are going almost coast to cost on 37 bucks an hour, regionals paying to secure flying and buying up deals with cash strapped majors etc. There are way bigger issues with the industry.
