This whole thread just re-asserts my belief that pilot's are our own worst enemy. Now this is a pilot on the outside looking in, but it just seems like mainline guys want the regional jobs back for sake of the industry (or their own profession), and regional guys want to keep their jobs or seniority if they get folded in mainline. All of it is reasonable if you sitting on one side or the other. Anyway, like I said I'm on the outside of this whole airline thing so I may be completely off, but none of this makes me want to join the ranks of the "big boys" flying "shiny jets." With that said, good luck to everyone and hope it all works out in the end.
