It's freakin business. Mainline pilots who were too good to fly small planes 30 years ago started this mess and young pilots trying to find a reasonable job are now blamed for it, whine about that.
Awesome 1st post!! (clap, clap)
If these forums embarass your obviously pious feelers, there are other venues.
Since you're new here, alot of pilots treat this forum like the crew lounge, where they can get info, rumors, blow off steam, b.s., etc.
The people running some regionals now, (Rev BB, J.O., Hulas, to name a few) saw Frank Lorenzo as a role model instead of Herb Kelliher and it's hard to NOT take things personally when your livelihood hangs in the balance. You do understand that, right? Ya, it's "freakin' business", and alot of crews are getting "freak"-ed by Republic.
btw,
Mainline pilots DID fly small planes 30 years ago, (new-hires at Pan Am started in small aircraft and worked up to the panel on the 727) Also, when the regional jet arrived, those mainline pilots you refer to wanted them flown for mainline rates, but the companies wanted no part of that! They gave up scope for promises that were broken before the ink dried on the paperwork. But, hey...it's "freakin' business"!!
