There is a term called foolish pride. Your response sounds like foolish pride.

Oh really? You really think we are becoming a regional airline? It has nothing to do with pride but responding to overreaching hyperbole.

You really think we are a great destination? The greatest destination?

Unless you fly boxes, this career became a job. And as to your other point, many regional airlines have better contractual provisions than we do. BTW, southwest is a regional.

We are more of a regional than American or United. Youve made that arguement yourself.

I had a United Captain out of O'hare on my jump seat last week. He showed me his contract and wide body AC orders. They will need to hire 4000 pilots in the next few years. 12yr Capt. pay on the C- Series
is $242.00..... Yes, it made me feel like I work for a domestic feeder airline.
