I do understand. I worked for the crappy company that you got your crappy airplanes from. I flew them when they were only SORTA clapped out. I voted down bad TAs in the hopes of more. Strung along with promises of a better contract…..only for Lucy to yank the football out from Charlie Brown over and over, The goal of the regional career is to NOT make it a career. Lifers can fend for themselves and their own decision to settle. If the hiring at Majors wasn’t so crazy, I might agree with what you’re saying…..but anybody who can fog a mirror and doesn’t have too many skeletons should make it out.
In all fairness….I’m also biased. I’d rather see the whole regional model go under. I’d be the first to vote yes to the idea of issuing every c5 pilot a UAL number and stapling the list.
