Spoken like a true person that never had to fly at the regional level! "POS regional pilot", come on man....... Do you think that majority of us want to be at this level? WE have all had to do what we had to do to get that "job" with a major, wether it be the military route or the civilian route. The majority of us have all worked hard to get there. I know of guys at SW that had a whole bunch of "parker pen" time to get there, so save your ranting about regional pilots for someplace else. I dont think my interview with my regional was very easy, hell we had to do an AA medical just to get through and fly a 707 sim.... Now that was years ago but do you really think I still want to be here? No a little thing called 9/11 happened and then in our case, a little thing called "flow-back" happened. Lets not lump all the regionals together....
