One last thing I've noticed, there are a TON of guys at RAH that really need to learn radio manners.....oh and quit the tough guy deep voices....you just sound lame.
Compensated well to fly a crj? None of us at the regionals are compensated well for what we do. Especially considering what people in our seats, flying the same routes we do, made a decade ago before we replaced them. You seem so proud of your company and contract. Prior to hiring on you obtained copies of every contract out there, compared them, and then chose accordingly right? Yeah sure you did.
As for manners, I agree. But it's not just us it's everyone. One thing we agree on is all the dorks who try to lower their voice and sound Yeager-esque are indeed dorks. And sadly I do hear quite a few of them with our call signs.
