Yeah, those arrogant mainline pilots. YOUR flying? Man, you don't pay much attention to the industry do you? There's no such thing as YOUR flying. The paint on your airplane is UAL and DAL. You don't sell your own tickets, you don't take your own reservations. Hell, in most cases, you don't even pay for your own gas. The seats in the back of your airplane you aren't paying for, and you aren't collecting a profit on. You have a contract to do that flying, a contract that will expire one day. Hopefully, we can "right the wrongs" you've pointed out 50 times and delete that flying from your carrier. I think its funny that you berate us for giving that flying up, and then cry about it while we are trying to take it back.

As far as your threats. Who cares? Deny me the jumpseat all day long. I'm actually looking forward to the day when I get to miss a 4 day trip because I'm not allowed on an RJ (with my paint on it) to work. My call to the duty manager will I'm sure result in a few calls around. How are you going to explain that you denied a pilot a seat on an airplane that his/her carrier paid for? There are PLENTY of other regionals out there that are looking to replace you guys yesterday. Whipsaw 101.
