I feel a little ashamed but I didn't know that code shares indemify their mainline carrier for all liability.... that is a HUGE incentive to shift as much flying to a regional as you can even disregarding pay.
Overall VERY good reporting on the part of PBS, I feel like I should make a donation to them.... maybe 2% of my salary, more reports like that are worth an ALPA amount.
Good Post, but Let us be thankful that there are some pilot groups that are fighting to
drag our pay higher.
