and no sir i dont assume to have the experience or knowledge that you have acquired after a 20 year career but i do feel that im competent enough to handle myself in an emergency situation.
I don't think anyone saw where this regional thing was going until it was too late except management. I know you don't make decisions on what is flown by mainline or regional, but if you demanded significantly more for 70 and 90 seat flying and mainline unions demanded scope recovery, perhaps it would become more economical for management to move flying back to mainline. It is a problem that has to be fixed from both sides. Until every one is willing to push back and demand what we are worth we are all screwed.
Ideally we should operate under one certificate per paint job with no code sharing or outsourcing. 777 to BE1900 should be in one company on one certificate.
No need to call me sir, I'm just a pilot like everyone else here.
