That is obviously no longer the case. Regionals are not regionals anymore. The industry is pretty much at a standstill, more mainline flying being replaced by regionals and the regional pilot group getting more senior and experienced.
At this point, I really hope we the pilot group get a contract that we deserve and that management aknowledges the fact that we have taken PLENTY of concession over the past few years and that they recognize the experience level of our pilot group, and that we should be compensated for that properly.
