I sing it probably once a trip, usually as we close the doors.
Btw, did some hack my account earlier today??

All this bickering about who's gonna fly what and who's company can staff better brings me down a bit. But I have this hope in the back of my head that us regional guys are starting to realize we have the upper hand and will pull each other up to finally bring an end to this subpar lifestyle that was created to lower ticket prices.
Part of having the upper hand though is to steer pilots away from your airline so that you can better negotiate. If classes get filled management has no incentive to up compensation or QOL through work rules.
The proof in the pudding to this is airlines offering bonuses, or going back to the pilot group to renegotiate early. As terrible of a deal as Skywest agreed to with the roughly 1% increase, management decided to come back to the pilots early... almost like a union carrier going into early section 6.
Compass didn't offer the 17.5K out of wanting to give similar compensation to other regionals, they only did it when they couldn't fill classes.
