Who cares if he had a personal dispute withe the CA? They flew illegaly.


*I spent last weekend in a hotel pay protected for my trip while in the same hotel a Republic crew and their 4 day trip was down to 6 hours pay credit because they are not pay protected for weather. I was protected to 20 hrs of credit for 5 legs.

You're supposed to get that. Do you want a cookie?

*Espress Jet has more daily departures in IAH than CAL and almost as many departures in EWR as CAL (so who's really hurting the insdustry).

Colgan.

We don't need to point fingers at other pilots and we don't need to point fingers at other regionals, We need to work together to make things better or if you really hate things that much then do us all a favor and quit. Regardless, shut up, I am sick of hearing how unfair your aviation career is because of Colgan.

And I am sick of regional FOs claiming that everything is all good now that they passed a few insignificant LOAs, all the while this whole time their regional has grown by bottom feeding and taking over flying and by doing it with virtually no work rules.
