I was responding to the previous post, in the lingua franca.

I don't consider them to be any worse than QX.

Regionals are mainline pilots fault...

Can’t remember saying that. Commuter Airlines play a critical role in the hub-n-spoke system that our west coast super-regional employs. We use two of them. That our contract does not speak to size, weight and percentages is our doing. We never put any horsepower behind those items and for the 3-5 year look-ahead we will not have any horsepower to do so. Alaska would be foolish(and they are not) to go to a single regional provider. Keeping it evenly balanced between the two is smart.

I said that. Regional airlines flying from Seattle to Kansas City or Seattle to Bentonville AR in an E Jet is terrible for the profession. Mainline pilots allowed that. It’s horrible.

Depends on the party...

If it’s the one where we celebrate giving away scope and our futures for a meager raise. Yeah I’d be the party pooper
