As for the controllers, they don't know better, you should.

Maybe I'll just call it by its proper name: Guppy Killer.

Work it out inflight. No big deal.
I'm really not trying to single you out, I'm just sick of this tired argument that pilots are the only ones who spend lots of time on the road, and are the only ones who work holidays. It's not just us.

Anyway, I think that's why he is at Comair now. A merge between Compass and Comair would not make a lot of sense in my opinion, because they would lose a bit of whipsaw power. Compass is already as cheap as it get and they can use this to try and force Comair to cut costs. Remember, the rules at Compass were created by NWA management during bankruptcy.

Regional pay, for the most part, sucks. $21,000/year to fly an 86 seat plane? This is like going to medical school to work at a daycare centre. Actually, my buddy at a daycare centre makes more. And he gets the summers off.
