I think he was just making commentary through a comparison about the low pay at Omni...yes, it is low. However, making light of that is not disrespecting crews.
BTW; Regional pilots work hard and deserve as much respect from the pilot community and you looking down on the short routes of regionals is hypocritical.
So, lighten up Francis.

Well the pay is no where near par for the equipment and operation. The benefits are not par with the profession. Many other things are sub-standard. That's why a union was voted in. Hopefully there will be an acceptable CBA sooner rather than later....
