I don't really think anyone is expecting a hand out, number one. But the question was why are the regional guys upset at what they got, they should be greatful.
My reply to that was mentioned earlier. Now the CPP is no hand out. Matter of fact it is a really long interview process. This is not flow or anything to the contrary. On the other hand I am not knocking it, it is a great tool for recruiting. We all come to the regional that we are at for our own reasons. But to be indignant to the pilot groups by saying you should be greatful is a bit harsh. I was merely pointing out there are a lot of pilots, that have a hard time pay bills much less worrying about NAI and other airlines. Other issues are mainline are the real guys running the show. Regional contracts are abysmal in comparison to the real airlines throughout the world. I just pose the question of equal representation and to be paid equal to pilots working in 3rd world countries.
Personally, I don't have the money to contribute to PAC or lobbying groups to make a bean of difference. And good on you that you got into the majors. But a rising tide should float all ships. You need to stop personalizing the questions, but understand that there are people out here that are very frustrated. This is not about your success story, or how you personally won the game. This is about all pilots, be it RJ, LCC, Legacy, ect... We need to stop climbing all over each other and help each other. But to do that you have to understand what people need and care about.
So yeah tell us are you going to support us? So far we have blindly support you. That is what people are thinking. These are all just observations of the course of years working at the regionals.
P.S. Now to say I am backing NAI was kind of a jump, and accusing me of supporting it is kind of slanderous. But I am not going to jump anyone that goes there, nor another airline. I may not be happy about it, but how dare I judge them, for that maybe what is best for the family.
