So we can avoid your post being construed as pure flamebait I would be open to hear your thoughts on a few subjects.
-What have you specifically done to improve this industry other than getting hired at express jet under a contract that was negotiated prior to your arrival?
-Under the Pinnacle/Colgan/Mesaba new JCBA, which points in particular do you feel bring down the industry as a whole?
Just trying to keep this on topic since the Colgan bottom feeder comments are as common place as the PFT threads and go jet inquiries. Id be interested in hearing your points.

The second you agree that you shouldnt have the same board priority as a mainline employee is the second you agree that you are not as important as them. When you get left behind because the mainline ramper that just got hired last week beat you on you are saying that he is more important than you. I would say that you or I have much more invested in that mainline carrier than said ramper. WAKE UP!

The sad part about this industry is that in an effort to reach my end goal of working at a major airline and having all the perks that come along with that goal I have to be apart of the problem that brings down the future of that position. The military is an option instead of the RJ but lets be honest, once you go military these days you are going military for life.

Qots, I threw USMC-SGT's post in ther so you can answer it here and look intelligent since you ran away from it on the other threrad. I posted your other threads to show how hypoctitical you are....telling mainline pilots to take back their flying and that regionals shouldn't exist but then you go and get a job at one for 22K a year
But then you when the mainline guys aren't looking you tell the world how you have the same job they do so you should get the same nonrev priority on THEIR airplanes as they do.
So tell me how much you have made so far in your first year there and what you have that makes your crappy regional better than our crappy regional?
