If they can afford the lease and the fuel, they can afford to pay the pilots. Its up to the pilots too demand it.

WOW! Why don't you go back to the regional lounge. With that exemplary attitude you displayed, ten years from now you should still be flying your 70 seater round trip from say ORD-GRR, or some other combination. The Omni guys work really hard and deserve the respect of the rest of this community. Yes, I to am waiting on a class date at Omni and am looking forward to getting started.

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.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: It still beats regional hell.

This regional captain, who made $104k in 2010, is swimming impatiently in the Omni pool and will take the first class offered as his ticket out of regional Hell.

Unfortunately neither is going to help. He likes to poke at the Omni pay scales. Check out his posts on the Omni L+G thread. Good luck to those swimming!!!
