I guess FNG "Gordo" wants the "fun" of risking your family's future every couple years with negotiations/strikes. He prefers being whipsawed by 7 competing regionals.

Alright, Eagle guys, flame away, but from an OH outsider, I'll take your "nightmare" anyday. You have an exclusive agreement with mainline (except Alter Eagle/TSA/CHQ from the TWA deal).Your "Slow and steady wins the race" contract has put you near the top of the regional heap for pay, and duty rigs are negotiated periodically. After alot of fighting, the flow-through actually worked. You had ALOT less pilots furloughed during the downturn, and brought them all back + hiring...

Ya, no regional's perfect, but some of those "nightmares"don't look so bad!!
