Go pound sand.
I didn't say we are "overpaid". I said that comparing other regionals we pay more. (which is a good thing) Why? Because other companies have to underpay to get a contract with the mainliners.

And of course that's what AA wants, get a less expensive feeder with the same or bigger planes, which is sad!

You're right...I wish this could be the glamorous job with good pay it used to be. For sure I think I'll never see that kind of pay.

Like it or hate it, one of the positive aspects of a 16-year contract is stability, making Eagle a regional you can actually have a career with.

At OH, we'd kill for a long term exclusive feed for DAL, with flow-through and annual pay raises...the grass ain't always greener on a picket line!
