If you're going to call one pilot group a bunch of lame-o's, you better look at the history and check yourself. Chances are that the proud regional you fly for screwed some mainline guys not to long ago. The only lesson you've learned from the mainline guys is to hate other pilots.
The clencher is this - this is nothing new. It happened in the auto industry in the 80's, it's happening to the computer industry today. It's called outsourcing, and there are many other examples.
People in those industries got mad at each other too, but it didn't get jobs back. Being mad at fellow pilots will not fix the fundamental problem - look around and know your history. As a society of people that overwhelmingly choose the cheapest product, this is the end result... Get over whining and crying at each other and move on to creating a real solution, not one that historically does not work.
this is completely inaccurate statement. no regional has screwed over there parent company. the flying that they do is flying that the major pilots gave up or didn't want to do for whatever reason. you give up unlimited scope on flying and this is what happens. the regional can't do 737 flying unless the majors give up more scope.
under your statements because it happened in the past we should still continue it today and not try and change things...good idea...what the saying "doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results"
