A vast majority of us have been screwed by decisions made at mainline to relax scope and fully support your efforts to take back flying, but to tell me I cannot speak since I'm a regional pilot, well...
Get off it buddy, its not just all about you!
J F'n C!
Ok, read my post carefully. This sticky thread is about CAL/UAL merger. This is not about what regional wants or doesn't want for his/her company currently. Read skywest here, if you choose. What this thread should be about is how CAl/UAL pilots can stop management from raping mainline in more 51+ seat jets and low paying jobs. I looking for MAINLINE guys to stop this crime and take some flying from the regional feeds. Lookin at some of the previous posts, they don't reflect this. This is why I posted this and to make sure this thread wasn't hijacked by regionals. If you feel bad about this atrocity, great but I want to see what my current and future brethren think and plan on doing about it. So when you look at the CAL/UAL merger section, it is all about us and me.
I am not saying that regionals are dying to steal my job but I know they flying will be done by Skywest/ American shuttle regardless. So, grow thicker skin and get over yourself. Maybe go post on the cargo section.
